Answer

DROLL

Droll means something that is amusing in an odd, curious, or whimsical way. The word comes from the Dutch word drol meaning a stout little fellow or something comical. It often describes dry or deadpan humor that catches you off guard and makes you smile rather than burst out laughing.

Strategy Tip

Today's word features double letters, with two Ls at the end. When you see certain letter positions confirmed, consider that repeated letters might be hiding there. Words ending in LL are fairly common in English, so this pattern is worth keeping in mind.
