Answer

ULCER

An ulcer is an open sore on an internal or external surface of the body, most commonly referring to peptic ulcers in the stomach or duodenum. The word comes from the Latin word ulcus meaning sore. While stress was once thought to be the main cause, we now know that most stomach ulcers are caused by the bacterium H. pylori or prolonged use of certain medications.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle begins with an uncommon starting letter. If your usual openers are not giving you green tiles, consider that the answer might start with a less frequently used letter like U, which appears at the start of only about 1 percent of English words.
