Answer

CLACK

This word is an onomatopoeia, meaning it imitates the actual sound it describes. It represents a sharp, dry, clicking noise produced when two hard surfaces strike against each other. The word has been used in English since the 15th century and is often associated with mechanical sounds, typing on old keyboards, or the rhythmic noise of tap dancing.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle contains a repeated letter, which can be tricky. When you have confirmed some letters but still cannot find the answer, consider whether one of those letters might appear twice. Many players forget to test double letter combinations.
