Answer

GRIST

This word originally referred to grain that was brought to a mill to be ground into flour. Over time, it evolved to mean any useful material or raw matter that can be processed or turned to advantage. The common expression 'grist for the mill' means something that can be used profitably or turned into a valuable resource.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has only one vowel, which is actually more common than you might think in five letter words. If your early guesses reveal very few vowels, consider words with just one vowel in a middle position. This can open up consonant heavy solutions.
