Answer

KARAT

This word refers to a unit of measurement for the purity of gold, where 24 represents pure gold. The term comes from the same Arabic root as carat, the unit for measuring gemstone weight, though the two words have distinct spellings in American English. When you see 18K gold, it means 18 parts gold out of 24, making it 75 percent pure.

Strategy Tip

This puzzle features a repeated letter, which can be tricky. When you have confirmed some letters but still cannot find the answer, consider whether one of your green or yellow letters might appear twice in the word.
