Answer

JIFFY

JIFFY is an informal word meaning a very short period of time or an instant. The word has been in use since at least the late 18th century, and while its exact origin is uncertain, it became popularized in everyday speech as a casual way to describe doing something quickly. The word is perhaps most famously associated with the Jiffy brand of baking mixes and peanut butter.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features a double letter, which can be tricky to identify. When you have confirmed some letters but are running out of guesses, consider that one of your known letters might appear twice in the word.
