Oh, about Wednesday's - I'd love to know why VIRGO is not considered a word, but IMPRO and PRIMO are.

I had to think a bit for the answer, then smacked my head when I got it.

Re: PRIMO. That is the word I had to look up. It was a bit obscure and is a musical term, "the leading or upper part in a duet".

I have a suspicion that was not what the puzzle setters had in mind though, I think it this definition:

Quote:
ADJECTIVE
NORTH AMERICAN
informal
of top quality or importance:
"the primo team in the land"

If it was the latter, then I'm not impressed.

Even with three letters in place and only 14 possible letters to plug into the remaining two, I could not for the life of me see it. I resorted to writing a brief computer program to list out the 196 possible solution words. And I was still a bit dubious when I saw the solution.

#!/bin/bash

left=(Q W Y U O A D F J Z X C V B)

for i in ${left[@]}; do
   for j in ${left[@]}; do
       echo $i"AC"$j"O"
   done
done

I am actually quite pleased with myself. It took quite a while going through possibilities in my head until I did a little mental twist into the realm of re-using letters. I was still a bit unsure when I entered my final attempt but was quite delighted as I watched all the letters turn green.

Very satisfying when I worked out what it was. But it took me about half an hour.
