Answer

TIDAL

This adjective describes anything relating to or affected by tides, which are the regular rise and fall of sea levels caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun. The word comes from the Old English 'tid' meaning time or season. You might encounter this term in phrases like tidal wave, tidal pool, or tidal energy, which refers to renewable power harnessed from ocean movements.

Strategy Tip

When you have common consonants like T, D, and L confirmed, try placing them in different positions. Many English words end in AL or have D in the middle, so experimenting with these patterns can lead to quick solves.
