Answer

GAUZE

Gauze is a thin, loosely woven fabric primarily used in medical settings for bandages and dressings. The word comes from the French 'gaze,' possibly named after the Palestinian city of Gaza, which was known for its fabric production in the Middle Ages. Beyond medical use, gauze is also used in cooking to strain liquids and in theater for creating soft lighting effects.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has three vowels packed into five letters, which is quite unusual. When you get multiple vowels confirmed early, it can really narrow down your options quickly. Words with high vowel counts are worth keeping in mind when you have ruled out common consonants.
