Yes, it's a rubbish game when they use words of this pattern. There are two dozen possibilities by the time you reach line 6.

I had four greens at line 3, and by the time I'd chased that initial letter I still had two possibilities left. Streak alive by skin of teeth!

I also didn't see what else it could be. It comes from a phrase I've never encountered before and therefore assume to be American. The equivalent British word would be 'blink'.
