BUGGY

BUGGY can function as both a noun and an adjective. As a noun, it refers to a light horse drawn carriage or a small motorized vehicle like a golf cart or dune buggy.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has a repeated letter, which can be tricky. When you get feedback showing a letter appears once, do not assume it only appears once. Try words with double letters to test this possibility, especially for common double letter combinations like GG, LL, or SS.
