No...
spelled correctly....
L _ _ _ E
Where the 3 spaces are filled using 2 letters.
And at dictionary.com...the ninth entry for this word is the most apropos...based upon the subject at hand.

Antonym alert
Odd.. I thought most preferred rather an opposite quality, er -
Never mind. The whole topic is fraught with constriction.

Well it was more....
...of the behavioral trait as opposed to the attribute.
It was simply the running gag of the weekend.

My memory must be bad
The word I mentally filled in with was, "loose".
What were you thinking, "love"?

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, Ben!
FINALLY I get a fucking handle on this!!!
I stopped replying after my second "Aargh", because I thought BeeP was just jerking me around...
But "loose" makes *perfect* sense, if you read BeeP's instructions as, "filling in those three spaces using only *two different* letters".
As a "the letter 'o' (in the abstract), and two occurrences of it", as opposed to "three 'letters': an 'O', another 'O', and..." kind of thing, that is.
Sorry I suspected you unjustly, BeeP; and again, thank you, Ben.
