Second-smallest of seven (6)

I believe the answer is:

europe

(Other definitions for europe that I've seen before include "O, puree on the continent" , "Second smallest continent" , "Land mass from the Atlantic to the Urals" , "Second-smallest continent" , "Union in popular parlance?" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
