Answer

CATER

This verb means to provide food and drink, typically at social events or gatherings, or more broadly to provide what is needed or required. The word comes from the Anglo Norman French word acatour meaning buyer, which connects to its original sense of providing provisions. Today we often use it in phrases like cater to or cater for when describing meeting someone's particular needs.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle uses very common letters that appear frequently in English. When you have eliminated unusual consonants early, focus on testing different arrangements of common letters like C, T, R, and E. Sometimes the challenge is not finding rare letters but placing common ones correctly.
