Answer

DRILL

DRILL can function as both a noun and verb. As a noun, it refers to a tool with a rotating cutting tip used to make holes, or a structured repetitive exercise. As a verb, it means to bore a hole or to train through repeated practice. The word comes from the Dutch 'drillen' meaning to bore or turn in a circle.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has double letters, which can be tricky. When you get repeated yellow or green letters in your guesses, consider whether those letters might appear twice in the answer. Words with double L are more common than you might think!
