Answer

FIXER

A fixer is someone who repairs or mends things, but the word has also taken on a secondary meaning in politics and business. In those contexts, a fixer is someone who solves problems through negotiation, influence, or sometimes questionable means. The word comes from the verb fix, which has Latin roots meaning to fasten or make firm.

Strategy Tip

Today's word contains the letter X, which is one of the least common letters in English. If you have ruled out most common letter patterns, do not be afraid to try words with X, Z, or Q. Sometimes the unusual letter is exactly what you need.
