'Khalifa' was the only word left that fit, most of my final guesses were killing off the other words I could think of (The T was to test for "stamina", the R was to test for "charisma"). Plus I've noticed you like geography or celestial words (The latter was how I landed on Milky Way the puzzle before.)
So this next one is my Hail Mary attempt to get one that doesn't have any issues, that just works as a puzzle. All my puzzles have gone wrong all the way back to friggin 'jodhpur' in 2021, so this time I'm 100% sure we all know this word and it's guessable without dictionaries. In fact I think y'all have a pretty good chance of solving it without a single wrong guess.
