Answer

TIBIA

The tibia is the larger and stronger of the two bones in the lower leg, commonly called the shinbone. It connects the knee to the ankle and bears most of the body's weight when standing. The word comes from Latin, where it originally meant a type of flute or pipe, likely because the bone was sometimes used to make musical instruments in ancient times.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has a repeated letter, which can be tricky to detect. When you see unusual vowel patterns in your feedback, consider that a vowel might appear twice. Words with multiple I's are more common than you might think!
