Answer

ALIBI

An alibi is a claim or piece of evidence that proves someone was elsewhere when a crime or other event took place. The word comes from Latin, where it literally means 'elsewhere' or 'at another place.' It entered English legal terminology in the 18th century and has since become a staple of detective fiction and courtroom proceedings.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle has a repeated letter and an unusually high vowel count with three vowels in just five letters. When you notice several vowels appearing but the word still seems tricky, consider that one letter might be doubled. Words ending in I are relatively rare in English, so if you spot that pattern, it can help narrow things down quickly.
