Answer

ELOPE

This word means to run away secretly with a lover, typically to get married without the knowledge or consent of family members. It comes from the Anglo French word 'aloper' meaning to run away. The tradition of eloping became popular when young couples wanted to marry against their families' wishes, often associated with climbing down from windows or sneaking away at night.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle has three vowels and a repeated letter. When you notice your guesses revealing multiple vowels, consider words with double letters, as E appearing twice is quite common in English words.
