Answer

QUAIL

Today's word refers to a small ground dwelling bird belonging to the pheasant family. Quail are found across many continents and are known for their plump bodies, short tails, and the distinctive feather plumes on their heads. The word can also be used as a verb meaning to shrink back in fear, though the bird meaning is more common.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features the letter Q, which almost always pairs with U in English words. When you spot a Q in your guesses, immediately consider words where QU appears together. There are very few five letter words starting with Q, so this knowledge can really narrow things down quickly.
