Answer

PATSY

The word refers to someone who is easily manipulated or deceived, often used to take the blame for something they did not do. It comes from the Italian word pazzo meaning fool or madman. The term became popular in American slang during the early 20th century, particularly in contexts involving cons and criminal schemes.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle has only one vowel, which is the letter A. When you notice your guesses are coming up short on vowels, try words with just one or two vowels to test consonant heavy patterns.
