Answer

OCTET

An octet refers to a group of eight items or people, most commonly used in music to describe an ensemble of eight performers or a composition written for eight instruments or voices. The word comes from the Latin 'octo' meaning eight. In computing, an octet is another term for a byte, which consists of eight bits.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle has a double letter, which can be tricky to spot. If you have most letters but the word does not quite fit, consider whether one letter might appear twice. Words ending in ET or TT patterns are worth exploring when you have confirmed those letters.
