Answer

DIGIT

This word comes from the Latin word 'digitus' meaning finger or toe, which makes sense because humans have historically counted on their fingers. In mathematics and computing, it refers to any single numeral from 0 through 9. The word is commonly used in phrases like 'four digit PIN' or 'single digit temperatures.'

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features a repeated letter, which can be tricky to spot. When you have confirmed several letters but the word still is not coming together, consider whether one of those letters might appear twice in the solution.
