Hint (if required), but you will forfeit your choccie bar:

Spoiler

Each letter represents an intangible item many of us use every day.
The missing one helps you to see your plans.
Note: This is not a sequential string.

F

hmm, after reading the spoiler, maybe I'm going in the wrong direction.

[Rudi]

My puzzles are generally way to easy or way to cryptic.
I have updated the hint above if you cannot spot the whole.

TX for the try Claude. Whoever gets it right will need to share their choccie with you!

[Claude]

Oi! Steady on there Rudi ! Have you considered that I could be on a diet ???

[Leif]

Spoiler

Based on the hint "The missing item helps you to see your plans."
G for Glasses
or
S for Spectacles

[Rudi]

But how does your answer relate to the rest of the given letters?

[Leif]

With difficulty.

[Rudi]

I have updated the hint one more time.
Now the choccie must be shared between Claude and Leif (unless Claude is weight-watching!)
Sheesh...the things I must do for you kids!

[Rudi]

You can't tell me you need more clues...

[HansV]

Spoiler

I ?

[Rudi]

Nope. Have a look at the opening post again. It could help?

[HansV]

Not the slightest inkling...

[Rudi]

LOL... no worries. The strange thing about it is if you get the answer, it's going to suddenly be as clear as daylight. The colour should make the puzzle easier if you associate the colours of the letters with their identity.

[StuartR]

I'm totally stumped too

[Rudi]

OK... (maybe this was a bit cryptic. It happens, )

But... but...

Spoiler

The letter for Excel is an X, not an E

[Rudi]

The icon yes....but when I started the puzzle, I was not even thinking of icons, I just listed the letters in a string in the post, and assumed someone would recognise the pattern of applications.
I thought it would just be more visual to provide the answer with the appropriate application icon.

[HansV]

I'm afraid I would never have guessed what you meant. I'm currently on a computer with Outlook 2010, and its icon is yellow (I know it was changed to blue in Office 2013).

Moreover, I still have no idea what the second green P and the blue L are for.

[Claude]

Moreover, I still have no idea what the second green P and the blue L are for.

AFAIK, their only task is to annoy us

[Rudi]

Maybe I should stick to posting published puzzles instead of creating my own.
Sorry for the confusion...but then again, maybe I purposefully meant to frustrate you all.

Here is the full list:

- The "P's" are for Publisher, PowerPoint and Project
- The "L" is for Lync
