Replace the BLANKs in the following sentence with two seven letter words. The same seven letters must be used for both words. Both words end in the same letter. What is it?

It was initially BLANK whether the government were planning a BLANK strike.
"D" "L" "R" "T"

what be the two words and therefore the correct letter?

    Where does D, L, R, T fit in the puzzle? Do the words have to contain these letters?

    both of the "blank" words consist of the same seven letters, and end in the one of d, l , r, or t.

    the question is here the answer is 'r'. I guess what I really want to know is how you are supposed to arrive by that answer.

    unclear / nuclear.

    Can't say it took me more than 5 seconds or so. I must be dead clever.

    ok, yeah- you're dead clever, but what was the proccess of thought to get that? I never would have got it because a) I can't spell and b) the phrase 'nuclear strike' isn't one I would have thought of, and c) I don't think I really need a point c to explain that I don't get it.

    I thought "strike" meant that they wouldn't be working, if I'd thought of it as "attack" I might have thought of "nuclear".

    I did think of it in terms of attack, and still didn't think nuclear *sigh*

    Fuck I thought the word had to contain all those 4 letters not just one. Probably still wouldn't have got it though. :D
