Answer

MODEM

A modem is a device that modulates and demodulates signals to enable digital data transmission over analog communication lines. The name itself is a portmanteau of modulator and demodulator. While dial up modems with their iconic connection sounds are mostly obsolete, cable modems and DSL modems remain essential for home internet connections today.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features a repeated letter, which can be tricky. When you have confirmed letters but the puzzle still feels stuck, consider whether any of those letters might appear twice in the word.
