Hi

we don’t know what letters are on each dial, but looking at the known combinations we can deduce that dial 1 has the letters w b a o f d m t ( by looking at the first letter of every word)
dial 2 has the letters n h o d w e i a
dial 3 has the letters e o d l b n a t

dial 1 has no letter h so we cannot make the word hat
