Answer

ABBEY

An abbey is a complex of buildings used by members of a religious order under the leadership of an abbot or abbess. The word comes from the Latin 'abbatia' and was adopted into English through Old French. Famous abbeys include Westminster Abbey in London and Downton Abbey from the popular television series.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features a double letter, which can be tricky to spot. When you are stuck, consider that common consonants like B, L, S, and T frequently appear twice in English words. Try guessing a word with repeated letters to test this possibility.
