Default Help me in a word game...?

So my friend talked me into downloading this word game to my phone, called Hanging With Friends. It's sort of Wheel of Fortune on your phone.
Anyway, my friend has genius level IQ, and has very few friends, as he's usually so condescending towards people, that most shun him. Anyway, you're allowed 4 word "misses"....whoever misses the 5th word, loses the game. Well, I've held my own, and we each have 4 strikes! I'm on his word, and it's something I can't figure out, and I only have 2 "letter strikes" left. I'll never hear the end of it, if he beats me. PLEASE help me figure out this word. Here's what I HAVE figured out(x being the blanks)

x A L x O E D

The letters I have strikes on(no longer possibilities) are B N and T.

The remaining possible letters are C F G H I J K M P Q R S U V W X Y Z

WTF ends in OED? I can only miss two more letter guesses, and he wins the game. Please help me put my genius friend in his place!
Thanks for helping me cheat!

Maybe.....I'll wait for maybe another response, before I risk wasting my last two guesses....
I couldn't find a definition for salvoed, although I did discover a Scrabble sight, that says it's a word(although said it couldn't find a definition).

Well the only other one that fits is Halloed, but the other L would have appeared. Good luck!

THANKS. I'm going to go run some errands. When I get back, if there are no other guesses, I'll enter an S.


Thanks again!


Funny thing is, I KNOW he knows that he has me stumped. I've been sitting on this word for 2 days!! lol

Thence, Ocher, Egret, Ergot, Conch, Etcher, Chert, Cogent.

Those are all the "intelligent words" I can think of with those letters, lol.

THANKS! I went with OCHER, as hopefully the hardest one to guess!

This guy is one of those guys, who's an expert on everything. Problem is, he doesn't just think he is....he really is. I'm a reasonably smart guy, but I feel like a moron around him!

That's why beating him is so important to me!

How did I miss this thread?? I love word games! Said (for once) in a non-sarcastic way. I take my Scrabble etc very seriously...
