Answer

DREAD

Today's word describes a strong feeling of fear or apprehension about something that may happen. It comes from Old English 'draedan' meaning to fear greatly. The word can function as both a noun describing the emotion itself and a verb meaning to anticipate with great anxiety.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle contains a repeated letter, which can trip up many players. When you have confirmed several letters but the word still is not coming together, consider that one letter might appear twice. This is more common than you might think in five letter words.
