Answer

STILT

A stilt is a pole or post used to elevate something above ground level. The word can refer to the long poles that performers strap to their legs for entertainment, the tall posts that support buildings in flood zones, or a type of long legged wading bird. The word comes from Middle English and has Germanic origins.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features a repeated letter, which can throw off many players. When you see fewer unique letters appearing in your green and yellow squares than expected, consider that the word might have a double letter. Words with repeated consonants like TT, LL, or SS are more common than you might think!
