Answer

BUTTE

A butte is an isolated hill or mountain with steep, often vertical sides and a small, relatively flat top. The word comes from French, meaning a small rise or knoll. Famous examples include the iconic buttes of Monument Valley and Scotts Bluff in Nebraska. The city of Butte, Montana takes its name from this geological feature.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle contains a repeated letter, which can be tricky since many players avoid guessing the same letter twice. If your guesses keep coming up short, consider whether one of your yellow or green letters might appear more than once in the word.
