Answer

IVORY

Ivory refers to the hard, creamy white material derived from the tusks and teeth of animals, most notably elephants. The word comes from the Latin 'ebur' meaning elephant. Due to conservation concerns and the protection of endangered species, the trade of ivory is now heavily regulated or banned in most countries, making antique ivory items valuable collectors pieces.

Strategy Tip

Words with V can be tricky since V is relatively uncommon in English. If you have eliminated the most common consonants, trying a word with V early can help you narrow down possibilities quickly.
