Answer

SHELL

A shell is a hard protective outer case of certain animals, particularly mollusks like snails, clams, and oysters. The word comes from Old English 'scell' and has evolved to have multiple meanings, including an artillery casing, a computing interface, and the framework of a building. Collecting shells on the beach is a beloved pastime for many.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features double letters, which can be tricky to spot. When you have most letters figured out but something seems off, consider whether a letter might appear twice. Words like SPELL, STAFF, and TEETH are more common than we often realize.
