Answer

CLOVE

A clove can refer to two different things: the aromatic dried flower bud of an evergreen tree native to Indonesia, used as a spice, or a single segment of a garlic bulb. The word comes from the Old French 'clou' meaning nail, which describes the shape of the dried spice. Cloves have been prized for centuries for their intense flavor and medicinal properties.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has two vowels that are fairly common in English words. When you get feedback showing you have vowels in the wrong position, try shifting them around before abandoning them entirely. Many five letter words have O and E together.
