Well. That was faster than expected :D

 

DEFEND is correct.

Yay! I started with the hypothesis that the "d" in "stupid" was in the correct place, and if that were true, through process of elimination, the word must be "-e-end." Defend was the only word I could think of that didn't use letters that were wrong.

 

New word: 7 letters.
