Instructions: Begin by guessing a word that fits in the boxes. (Make sure you click on the first square in the grid before you start typing, or use the keyboard provided below the puzzle.) Letters that are somewhere in the answer will appear in yellow. If you guess a letter as it appears in the correct order of the word, the letter will appear in green. If the square remains gray, that letter is not in the answer. You’ll have six guesses to determine the final word. (See more guidance from the New York Times.)
Hint: A distinction found in both academia and the military.
