    Me too. Got to the 6th go still with two possible options. Went for the wrong one. Just far too many possibilities with that combo of letters at the start.

    Only had the third letter in place after 3 goes but got it in 4 :D.

    Been a bit close to losing my streak this week though. Up to 127.

    Seriously, WTF was that? Got it by inserting random letters at the end. Checked online, apparently it's an American term. Is anyone else on here familiar with it?

    That was my first thought, but I'd never noticed it. Maybe I'm watching the wrong shows?!

    Technically it is - it's an acronym from WW2. And once you know all that and what it means, it's pretty obvious what the last two letters stand for!

    Taking note of the above I went back to it and got it now. Unimpressed at that as a solution it’s an acronym not a word also it’s inappropriate bearing in mind what most associate the last 2 letters with

    Totally agree, it came to me from the back of my mind around guess 4 but I rejected it as an acronym and not a "proper word".
    I finally used it as my final guess, more in hope than exprectation as I just couldn't see any alternative by then.
