"Haddock" is actually one of the words they use as an example in the lesson
books. If you have the fifth edition of the lessons, the example is on page
9-4. It is also shown in the Problem Words section at the end. The correct
contraction usage is ha[dd]ock.

I thought I was told that upper part of the cell would take priority over a
choice using the lower part of the cell, so, if that were the case, it would be
456h, then dock. The word haddock would use 6 cells using either choice.
Does anyone know what the Library of Congress would consider correct format for
this word? I am a novice so am curious.

Thanks, David. This, at least, makes sense to me.

And it is the same for BANA.
I will try to be clear. "Haddock" offers the choice of 2 contractions:
1) "had" to 456 h (saving 1 character)
2) "dd" to dropped d (saving 1 character)
So either choice saves the same, but choice 2 is considered "simpler" since the
contraction is one braille character instead of two.
Thus, we use the dropped d
