Answer

TAUNT

This word means to provoke or challenge someone with insulting remarks, often done to get under their skin or goad them into a reaction. It comes from the French word 'tanter' meaning to tempt or try. The word can function as both a verb and a noun, describing both the act of mocking and the mocking remark itself.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features a repeated letter, which can be tricky. If you suspect a word has double letters, do not hesitate to guess words with repeats. Many players avoid guessing the same letter twice, but common words like TODAY, ADDED, or this answer prove that doubles are worth considering.
