Thanks jacknatter.
I had to look up that word.

Also this is a normal clue. There is no extra word.

I have a 4 letter word which means not fail.

I thought normal clues did not have extra words.
But Newnham and Scientist are extra, so I am wrong.

But now my answer is wrong.
So what are the middle 4 letters for 27d?
