Help me in a word game...?

[HomerMcvie]

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!
