[word game] extracted definitions

Rules: pick a word that doesn't have any repeated letter (we might update this as we get better at this.) Then we go to google and "define [word]" here, then pick one of the definitions (or a few, if you think one is too hard)) and remove all letter seen in [word] in the definition, and put number of letters in a word next to it, and post it up.
As an example, suppose I pick "word" and the following definition:
"a command, password, or motto."
I remove 'w','o','r','d' from those, getting
"(4) a cmman, pass, mtt"
Then you try to guess what is the original word that the phrase is being defined.
Let's try with a softball.
"(4) a sigl-mi xpt i a paticula tchical fil."

Ooooh, interesting
Is it Kyle's turn or is this a Flame-led game?

Flame should go again, because I'm not sure that one example was what he intended for the full experience.
I also thought it would be too difficult, but once you start figuring out the letters- it's a game of jumble.

Yup! And also, how many letters?

Oops, sorry. 5
I propose an additional rule: the definition must originally have all of the letters of the defined word.
I almost picked one that lacked one of the letters and that would have been much harder.

Is it
That was a pretty hard one! Could recover 4 letters, but had to wrack my brain for 5th letter!

Is it ?
I got the letters fairly quickly but I kept putting together the wrong way.
If I'm right, I'd like to let someone else post a word and I won't try to guess for a until tomorrow afternoon.
