Answer

VIPER

This word refers to a family of venomous snakes found across most of the world, characterized by their long, hinged fangs that fold back when not in use. The term comes from the Latin word 'vivipera' meaning 'live bearing,' as many species give birth to live young rather than laying eggs. Beyond its literal meaning, the word is often used metaphorically to describe a treacherous or spiteful person.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features a less common starting letter. While most players begin with vowel heavy words, remember that occasionally trying words with uncommon consonants like V or X can help you quickly confirm or eliminate tricky letter positions.
