Answer

EGRET

An egret is a graceful wading bird belonging to the heron family. These elegant birds are known for their long necks, slender bodies, and often pure white plumage. During the late 1800s, egret feathers called aigrettes were so fashionable in millinery that the birds were nearly hunted to extinction, which helped spark the early conservation movement.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle contains a repeated letter, which can be tricky to identify. When you have confirmed several letters but the word still does not come together, consider whether one of your green or yellow letters might appear twice in the solution.
