Answer
Any 6-letter word with the letters "se" in the middle will complete the word ratio. Possible answers include the words absent, assert, bisect, desert, insect, itself, losers, misery, museum, resent, unseen, wisely, etc.The middle two letters of each of the words in the ratio represents a direction. The embedded directions relate to the position of the word within the ratio.
