Answer

BOOZE

This informal term for alcoholic drinks has been in use since the 1700s, possibly derived from the Dutch word 'buizen' meaning to drink to excess. It can function as both a noun referring to alcohol and a verb meaning to drink alcohol. The word has a playful, casual connotation and is commonly used in everyday conversation.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features a double letter in the middle. When you see repeated letters in your guesses showing up yellow or green, consider that the same letter might appear twice. Words with OO are more common than you might think!
