Unless, of course, as was suggested
earlier, the riddle intends that you discard the twelve characters found in the spelled-out phrase:
. . . . .E I G H T L E T T E R S
Remove these characters (highlighted below in dark blue) from the original string:
. . . . .U E I L G C R H T K P C L E T H T O E R S A
This leaves the (indigo-highlighted) letters remaining:
. . . . .U L C R K P C H O A
And these letters may be rearranged to form "
P O L A R C H U C K".
I could be wrong, of course....
