Answer

INDIE

INDIE is a shortened form of independent, commonly used to describe music, films, video games, and other creative works produced outside of major commercial studios or labels. The term gained popularity in the 1980s with the rise of independent record labels and has since expanded to describe an entire aesthetic and culture associated with artistic freedom and alternative approaches.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features a repeated letter, which can be tricky. When you have confirmed some letters but the puzzle feels stuck, consider that one letter might appear twice. Words with double letters are more common than you might think!
