Answer

BASIL

This word refers to an aromatic herb in the mint family, native to tropical regions from central Africa to Southeast Asia. It is widely used in Italian cooking, especially in pesto sauce, and is often grown in home herb gardens. The name comes from the Greek word basilikon, meaning royal or kingly plant, as it was considered a noble herb in ancient times.

Strategy Tip

Words with common vowel combinations like A and I can be tricky because they appear in many five letter words. Try starting words that test both these vowels together with common consonants to quickly narrow your options.
