BINGO, as well as LOTTO. How did you search the OED for this - is there
a public on-line search...or what? [It isn't in the Webster on-line dict,
but is in my F&W "New College....".]

I searched a custom list of 6-letter words, then looked it up in the OED
for verification.
I'll have a word in mind when next I log in...
