Answer

TACIT

TACIT comes from the Latin word 'tacitus,' meaning silent or unspoken, which itself derives from 'tacere,' meaning to be silent. The word describes something that is understood or implied without being stated directly. You often hear it in phrases like 'tacit agreement' or 'tacit approval,' referring to consent given through silence or lack of objection rather than explicit words.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has a repeated letter, which can throw off many players. When you have confirmed several letters but the puzzle still seems unsolvable, consider whether one of your confirmed letters might appear twice in the word.
