Answer

SPOON

This common utensil gets its name from the Old English word 'spon' which originally meant a chip or splinter of wood. Early versions were indeed carved from wood. Today we have many variations including teaspoons, tablespoons, and serving spoons, each designed for specific purposes in cooking and dining.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features a double letter, which can be tricky to spot. When you have confirmed letters but the word still does not come together, consider whether one of those letters might appear twice. Words with repeated vowels like OO are more common than you might think.
