    If I hinted "think R2D2", would you all be able to guess this?

    The answer is "ANDROID", and its letter usage is as follows:

    D I L O F W M D N V A R P J
    * * * * * * *

    I'm curious, what were you guys' guesses anyway?

    Well I thought it looked just like a gear stick, with a diagram
    showing the gear layout printed onto it, so I thought (in American
    English) that it could be: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_(BitTorrent_client)

    Or out of desperation, maybe it was another lever: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HandBrake

    But I don't really have much exposure to Android so their logo
    isn't especially familiar to me. Then again, I've never used either
    of those mechanically-named programs either.
