mc5 - Collective Consciousness Hangman

From the mind of Projoy via The Banter Page: "One person sets a conventional hangman problem, but only other players are allowed to reveal the letters or add lines to the scaffold. Other players take guesses in turn as to which letters are in the word. The players who arbitrate over what letters are in the word are not allowed to confer. The shape of the word can only emerge through tacit mutual consent - via, in other words, the collective consciousness." (Winning move is "hanged")

Aligning my Wah with the cosmic consciousness...

My babula-sense tells me that if there is only one A and only one F then I don't know what the word is. Especially if there's no E.

In that case...

Projoy's guess at an extra F must leave us with a new...

[blame] Yes, that's right

None

It's risky, but I feel certain this is an awkward one. I'm not going to suggest 'Q': although I do feel there's one in there I'd like to get your views first. A 'Q' would suggest a 'U' unless it has some Arabic origin.

Yes, there is a U, and it goes in that place you're thinking of, too. I'll let you do the honours.
