Answer

FERRY

A ferry is a boat or ship designed to carry passengers, vehicles, and cargo across a body of water on a regular schedule. The word comes from Old Norse 'ferja' meaning to transport. Famous ferries include the Staten Island Ferry in New York and the various services connecting mainland Europe to the British Isles.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has double letters, which can be tricky to spot. If you are stuck, consider that some five letter words repeat consonants. Words like FUZZY, HAPPY, and today's answer all feature this pattern.
