Answer

CINCH

The word CINCH has two main meanings. As a noun, it refers to something that is extremely easy to accomplish, or to the strap that secures a saddle around a horse. The word comes from the Spanish word cincha, meaning a girth or belt. In casual American English, saying something is a cinch means it is effortlessly simple.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle contains a repeated letter, which can be tricky to identify. If you have confirmed several letters but the word still seems incomplete, consider whether one of those letters might appear twice. Testing for double letters can unlock puzzles that seem stuck.
