Answer

WEDGE

A wedge is a triangular shaped tool or object that tapers from a thick end to a thin edge. It is one of the six classical simple machines in physics, used to split, lift, or hold objects in place. The word comes from Old English 'wecg' and has been used for centuries to describe everything from door stops to cheese slices to golf clubs.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle has a repeated letter, which can trip up many players. When you have confirmed several letters but the word is not coming together, consider whether one of those letters might appear twice. Double E is actually quite common in English words.
