TALLY

interjection /ˈtæli/

The Word, Explained

TALLY /ˈtæli/ interjection

Target sighted.

"(Air Traffic Control): Speedbird 123, New York, traffic at two o’clock, seven miles, a Boeing 737, west-bound, at 4000 feet.”"

Tricky because the repeated L trips up guesses that assume five unique letters, and with a single vowel, early guesses reveal little.
