Answer

SCENT

This word refers to a distinctive smell, especially one that is pleasant. It can be used as both a noun meaning fragrance and a verb meaning to detect by smell. The word comes from the Latin 'sentire' meaning to feel or perceive, which also gives us words like 'sense' and 'sentiment.'

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features a common consonant cluster at the beginning. When you see SC together in your guesses showing yellow or green, try to keep them paired as many English words use this combination.
