Answer

BRASS

Brass is a metal alloy consisting primarily of copper and zinc. The word has multiple meanings: it can refer to the material itself, musical instruments made from it (like trumpets and horns), or colloquially to bold confidence or nerve. The term comes from Old English 'braes' and has been used for centuries to describe this golden colored alloy.

Strategy Tip

Today's word contains a double letter, which can be tricky to spot. When you see letters that could repeat (like S or S), consider trying them twice. Many common English words have doubled consonants, so do not shy away from guessing repeats.
