Answer

POSSE

A posse originally referred to a group of citizens summoned by a sheriff to help maintain law and order, particularly common in the American Old West. The term comes from the Latin phrase 'posse comitatus' meaning 'power of the county.' Today, it is also used informally to describe a close knit group of friends or associates.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features a double letter, which can be tricky. When you have confirmed letters but the word still does not come together, consider whether any letter might appear twice. Double S is actually quite common in English words.
