I knew BIPED was wrong, but was also confident that it would give me the answer. Which it did - just not in the way I expected. While I was skeptical of an -ED ending, another O never occurred to me. Tough one.

GRAND → Not a bad start, but where from here? An S and two vowels could be…
DOSER → Good guess! D must be middle, R must be start, RODE- looks like a repeated O…
