I think you have the right idea.  You just need to repeat 25 more times - once for each letter you want to delete.  You should probably create another edit such as the following - unfortunately I can't test this right now - but at least you should be able to get the idea:

DELCH:^~ [ !A! | !B! | ...(etc.)

[Your edit]: {N} DELCH

Good Luck.
