Answer

CRYPT

A crypt is an underground room or vault, typically found beneath churches, used as a chapel or burial place. The word comes from the Greek 'kryptos' meaning hidden or secret, which also gives us words like cryptic and encrypt. Famous crypts around the world attract tourists interested in history and architecture.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle has no vowels at all, which is extremely rare in English. When you get zero vowel hits on your early guesses, consider that Y might be doing the vowel work, or that you might be dealing with an unusual consonant cluster. Words without traditional vowels are tricky but memorable!
