You’re not even close. Hint: It’s 14 letters long and it’s just one word. You got the Tat part right.

Okay, I think I got it. Its definition is “ragamuffin.” I don’t want to write the whole thing and spoil it for someone else. I struggled for 2 days trying to figure it out and wouldn’t want to rob them of that joy 😉
