___ Twist (best-selling children's book character)

I believe the answer is:

ada

(Other definitions for ada that I've seen before include "Computer language; girl's name" , "Palindromic girl's name" , "-- Lovelace, pioneer in computing" , "Computer lang.; f. name" , "Woman" .)

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