Thanks very much for you comments. I agree with aristo about ghost anagrams but this one was not one of those in that 'moins' did not have to be guessed but it did have to be translated which is easily done online. We often use 'the French' for 'le' and bbm2 used 'my French' for 'mon', but not as part of his anagram.
The anagram indicator did appear immediately in front of 'pray less French' so I would have thought it was correct.
Again, thanks for your input.
