Answer

ADEPT

Today's word is an adjective meaning highly skilled or proficient at something. It comes from the Latin word 'adeptus' which means having attained or achieved something. Historically, alchemists who claimed to have discovered the secret of transmuting metals were called adepts, and the word evolved to describe anyone with exceptional mastery of a craft or skill.

Strategy Tip

When you have common letters in uncommon positions, try thinking about less obvious word patterns. Today's puzzle has two vowels but not in the most typical spots, so experimenting with different vowel placements can help you crack the code.
