Answer

SWELL

SWELL has multiple meanings that make it a versatile word in English. As a verb, it means to expand or grow larger, often used when describing water waves or physical swelling from injury. As slang that originated in the early 1900s, it means something excellent or wonderful, though this usage is now considered somewhat old fashioned.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle contains double letters, which can be tricky. When you suspect a word might have repeated letters, try placing the same letter in multiple positions. Words ending in LL are fairly common in English, so keep that pattern in mind.
