I can imagine one at least. I've been told to zip it before. In more than one context. :) but perhaps not in as few or exact words.

My penultimate attempt was "UNRIP" and that made the solution clear. I suspect a native speaker would have skiped that one but who knows. Funnily, I enlisted a person I consider quite intelligent (but unfortunately in the social department. Not word-wise). In the the end he was no help.

I could have used some scrabble help site or merriam but that would just have been sad. If I did I might as well just ask ChatGPT. (Ironically, The quality of the help would probably be the same).

No, if it takes another try then so be it. What counts is I get it.

If I'm the the only non-native speaker participating I'll be darned if I'll stoop to cheating!
Then there is Zip to compress data. So there would a word relating to uncompressing the data.

This was a mean word. Did I say a word? I mean it was a mean abbreviation, except for in Paris.

Forgot to enable hardmode. So it goes.

You didn't find it too easy I see. That's a comfort at least.

My method may be too heuristic as opposed to... yeh you know...

My French is a little rusty. Could you maybe explain that joke to me? I'm not the fastest moped in these woods.

My Russian on the other hand. Had only 80% truancy so I kinda maybe know the cyrillic alphabet. Or not.

Metro is the Paris subway. Otherwise, I only know it as an abbreviation of metropolitan. That's probably the reason for the name of the Paris underground railway, too, but it has become its official name: le métro (de Paris).

Oh you were referring to #676. I think that's what threw me off completely.

Living in the outer suburbs of Houston, I remember when we had to have a Metro number if we wanted to call Houston and not be a long-distance call.

I remember when the fourth TV network (in the US) was MetroMedia. Since morphed/ mergered into Fox.

Forgot to post the last one I think. I'm pretty satisfied with myself with this one. Regardless if you did/will do better.
