Answer

MACAW

A macaw is a large, long tailed parrot native to the tropical regions of Central and South America. They are known for their strikingly colorful feathers and their intelligence, often kept as pets for their ability to learn words and tricks. The word comes from Portuguese, which likely borrowed it from a Tupi language spoken by indigenous peoples of Brazil.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features a repeated letter, which can be tricky to spot. When you get close to the answer but something seems off, consider whether any letters might appear twice. Also, the letter W at the end of a word is relatively uncommon, so if you have ruled out more typical endings, give W a try!
