Answer

QUILL

A quill is both a hollow spine from a porcupine or hedgehog and a writing implement made from a bird feather, typically from a goose. Before modern pens were invented, quills were the primary writing tool in Western civilization for over a thousand years. The word comes from the Middle Low German word quiele, meaning hollow stalk.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle contains a Q, which is one of the least common letters in English. If your early guesses eliminate common letters without success, consider trying words with unusual letters like Q, X, or Z. Also note that this word has double letters, so keep that possibility in mind when patterns seem tricky.
