Answer

ADOBE

Adobe refers to a building material made from earth and organic materials, dried in the sun rather than fired in a kiln. The word comes from the Spanish word adobe, which itself derives from the Arabic word al tub meaning the brick. Adobe construction has been used for thousands of years and remains popular in desert climates for its natural insulation properties.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has three vowels out of five letters. When you are stuck, remember that some words are vowel heavy. If your guesses keep showing multiple yellow or green vowels, try words with A, O, and E together.
