Close, Beyond. You're only off by one.

That would fit with a ( +5 +5 +10 +10 +6 ??) Pattern

I never know whether I should put any effort into deciphering Art's more puzzling posts or not. Chances are it's just going to somehow come back to Shakespeare which I am absolutely sure I am uninterested in. It's just too clever for me.
Just call me "geck" because "zilla" is like a last name.

I got the pattern at first glance but was tempted to add +5 +5 +10 +10 +6 orange

Mozart couldn't use "orange" in an aria. There would be nothing to rhyme with it.

Although it likely wouldn't fit in an aria, the best rhyme I've ever come up for ORANGE is Door Hinge. Orange by the way, in a long shot, does fit the pattern as it has 6 letters
