  • $\begingroup$ Just to be clear, are you requesting that we not look for this exact puzzle on the internet (in which case it would be interesting to know where it comes from), or that we not use the internet to look up e.g. lists of countries? If the latter, should we also assume e.g. PLEASE NO CHECKING ATLASES? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I assume they just want us not using some sort of program to just cycle through the letter sets and come up with the city name... if we can't look up city names this requires an extensive knowledge since there are thousands of possible 6 letter cities. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ If I had something that actually fitted the letters I'd be posting an answer rather than a comment. I don't think Deepak should be telling us whether the word is a country name, city name, activity, etc.; that's for us to figure out. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ It is no fun if you search the internet for 6 letter words or program to get it. That is all. Just my 2 cents $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ (I hope some of them are not names), Does the comma in 356,234 mean two 3-lettered words or a single 6-lettered word? $\endgroup$

The word is:

ABROAD

The complete conversation is:

— Hello!
— Hi ROD!
— Hey BRAD, where are you?
— ABROAD, Europe!
— How do you like it?
— It is RAD, BRO. The place, but not the ROAD.
— BAD?
— yeah, not BROAD. Lot of BOARDs.
— What next?
— Got to go, BAR may be!

How did I find it?

By trying several things. I got a good start when trying places to go for the last word. PUB didn't work, but BAR did. Then I got BRO and the rest fell in place.
