Answer

ROBOT

This word comes from the Czech word 'robota' meaning forced labor or drudgery. It was first introduced in Karel Capek's 1920 play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots). Today, these machines are used in manufacturing, medicine, space exploration, and even household chores like vacuuming.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has a repeated letter, which can trip up many players. When you have confirmed a letter but it seems like it should appear more than once, try placing it in multiple positions. Words with double O are more common than you might think!
