Let's become british spies AKA logic puzzles challenge

Deconstructing the javascript function the url is:

http://www.[wordA]-[wordB]-[wordC].org.uk/[wordD]

So far that means it's

http://www.cub-[wordB]-[wordC].org.uk/[wordD]

I mean fuck it, maybe there isn't, if you're going to be a spy you should know how to brute force an answer sometimes.

So yea, GCHQ just registered it.

We just need the last word on the last question now, answers two and three are ZONE and OFTEN obviously. These guys ARE amateurs...

Q3 are names. I'm also thinking they have to do with the phonetic alphabet.

"VICTOR" MATURE

"----" LOVE

"OSCAR" WILDE

"CHARLIE" BUCKET

"----" BECKHAM

ZULU

torrent could be a noun or a verb, the others are singularly either nouns or verbs. By that criteria it's odd. Althougth I suppose saffron is possibly a noun or adjective, so it's not unique.

Still doesn't make sense as it's david beckham right? David is the one without any NATO phonetic alphabet then.

His son is named Romeo

OK so only one with last name instead of first name as radio alphabet. OK.

Was just trying to think outside the box.

Wait...don't they all need to be 7 word long answers for 7 clues?

I assumed the crossword puzzle did not have to be 7x7. As I found two decent answer in 4 letters, I went for 7x4 (also at a somewhat meta level, it's a lot easier to craft the puzzle with a 7x4 than with a 7x7).

Makes sense

It's seven though. Maybe that's just how they make them in the Islamic State of Britain.

We know the down-word(s) are 7 letters long. The clues all have equal-length answers. We don't know how long those will be.

Watching you guys come up with these answers makes me feel like a dumbass.

Wasn't Chicada supposed to return sometime this year?
