How to crack OCNGAC
Two C's and a G make this look like a dance word: CONGA uses five letters and leaves a spare C. The fix is a place-name brandy. Put C-O at the front, G-N in the middle, and A-C at the end: COG + NAC, or see COGNAC as Cognac, France. Once you accept a drink name, the double C locks at both ends.

Using COGNAC in a sentence
COGNAC is a specific brandy from the Cognac region of France, so people say "a glass of cognac" the way they say "a glass of whiskey." In cocktail menus it appears in drinks like the Sidecar and the French Connection. Related words are cognac-colored (a warm amber brown) and the broader category brandy. You won't often need a plural; when you do, cognacs means different bottles or vintages. Don't capitalize it mid-sentence unless you're naming the town. Brandy is the safe synonym when the exact appellation doesn't matter.
