Answer

HITCH

This versatile word can function as both a noun and a verb. As a noun, it means a temporary problem or snag, or a device for connecting things like trailers to vehicles. As a verb, it can mean to fasten or attach something, or to obtain a free ride by hitchhiking. The word has Germanic origins and has been part of English since the 15th century.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features a repeated letter, which can trip up many players. When you have confirmed letters but the word still does not come together, consider whether any of those letters might appear twice. Double letters are more common than you might think in five letter words.
