Answer

ALARM

This word comes from the Italian phrase 'all arme' meaning 'to arms' which was a call to soldiers to prepare for battle. Today it commonly refers to any warning signal or device, especially the one on your nightstand that rudely interrupts your sleep each morning. The word can also describe a feeling of fear or anxiety about potential danger.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle contains a repeated letter, which is worth remembering. When you have confirmed several letters but still cannot find the answer, consider whether one of them might appear twice in the word.
