Acronym: A word formed from the initial letters of a name, such as WAC for Women's Army Corps, or by combining initial letters or parts of a series of words, such as radar for radio detecting and ranging.

WAC is not a word, but it is an acronym.

Acronym: An identifier formed from some of the letters (often the initials) of a phrase and used as an abbreviation.

I think that covers most things.
