Answer

SKIFF

A skiff is a shallow, flat bottomed open boat with a pointed bow and square stern. The word comes from the French esquif, which itself derives from Old Italian schifo, meaning a small boat. Skiffs are versatile vessels used for fishing, transportation, and recreation in shallow waters.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features a double letter, which can be tricky. When you have confirmed some letters but cannot find the solution, consider that one of your known letters might appear twice. Double F endings are uncommon but worth remembering for future puzzles.
