Answer

ABYSS

This word comes from the Greek word abyssos meaning bottomless or unfathomable. It originally referred to the primeval chaos before creation in ancient cosmologies. Today it commonly describes any deep, immeasurable space, whether literal like the ocean depths or figurative like the abyss of despair.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features a double letter, which can be tricky to identify. When you have found some correct letters but the word still seems incomplete, consider whether one letter might appear twice. Words with double S at the end are more common than you might think.
