I haven't cracked this one yet — but the brilliant team at Fifteensquared have:
TRITON (the largest satellite of Neptune), containing (taking) Y (abbreviation for year). I think “try it on” generally refers to attempting something dubious (like trying to get something you’re not really entitled to) rather than actually risky, but it’s close enough. Maybe someone can find an example to support our setter’s usage.
