Answer

MATTE

MATTE refers to a surface or finish that is flat and non reflective, absorbing light rather than bouncing it back. The word comes from the French word mat, meaning dull or dead. You will commonly see this term used in photography, paint finishes, cosmetics like lipsticks, and art prints.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has a double letter in the middle, which can be tricky to spot. When you have confirmed several letters but the word still is not coming together, consider whether any letters might repeat. Double consonants in the middle of words are more common than many players realize.
