Answer

BEVEL

A bevel is a surface that meets another surface at any angle other than 90 degrees. The term is commonly used in woodworking, glasswork, and metalworking. Beveled edges are often seen on mirrors, picture frames, and decorative moldings, where the angled cut adds visual interest and can make edges safer by removing sharp corners.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has a repeated letter, which can be tricky. When you see fewer unique letters in your feedback than expected, consider that one letter might appear twice. Double E is fairly common in English words, so keep that pattern in mind.
