The word lacked all the common consonants so even as I tried to eliminate them, by the time I knew the letters, it was already the fourth attempt.

2. The word contains one vowel in it.

3. The word ends with the letter T.

4. The vowel in the word is A.

5. The word describes a sound made when water spills.

We went overboard with that final clue, but why not? You need it today. Now that you're prepared, go and give the game your best effort. And if somehow you still are doubtful, scroll down to check the answer.
