Answer

COMMA

A comma is a punctuation mark used to separate items in a list, clauses in a sentence, or to indicate a pause in speech. The word comes from the Greek 'komma' meaning a piece cut off. The Oxford comma debate over whether to use a comma before 'and' in a list remains one of the most passionate discussions in grammar circles.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has double letters in the middle. When you see a repeated letter in your guesses showing yellow or green, consider words where that letter might appear twice. Words with double M are less common but definitely worth exploring.
