Answer

RISER

A riser can refer to either a person who rises, particularly describing when someone wakes up (as in early riser), or it can be an architectural term for the vertical part of a stair step. The word comes from the verb rise, meaning to move upward, combined with the agent suffix er. In construction and building codes, risers have specific height requirements to ensure safety.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features a repeated letter, which can trip up even experienced players. When you have confirmed a few letters but the word still eludes you, try placing one of those confirmed letters in a different position or even twice in the word.
