Well a stellar performance is STAR-STUDDED but for the life of me I can't see why it should be so.

Any ideas?

Wendy - Thanks for input. STAR is probably right but STUDDED has 7 letters

Ah, sorry - no wonder I couldn't "see" answer!!

Are you quite sure of your "s" in the second word?

Maurie,

Have to say I'm stumped unless you can get some other letters. Or perhaps you have some others for us to try which will aid those two...?
