It is the word "figured" for me. It is a very common word, particularly among young people (although far from exclusively so) and so it goes by them completely unnoticed, but most of the characters they are writing would use words like reckoned, deduced, worked-out, suspected, guessed, estimated, and virtually any other more tightly defined and more specific word for the situation. Figured is so general a word, which is fine for characters who are very broad speakers (in terms of ideas), but not for those who are more old-fashioned and precise about their own language. Add in that a precise character can use figure-out to speak to something they are planning to do or are in the process of doing, but once the "figuring" has been completed will use another word in terms of the result or explaining their process and solution.
