Answer

RECAP

This word combines the prefix 're' meaning again with 'cap' which in this context comes from 'recapitulate,' meaning to summarize or restate briefly. It is commonly used in media and sports broadcasting to describe a quick summary of key events or points. The word became especially popular in the television era when programs would provide brief summaries of previous episodes or game highlights.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle uses all common letters with no repeats, which makes it accessible but not immediately obvious. Words with the prefix 're' are quite common in English, so if you spot an R early, consider trying words that start with RE to maximize your letter coverage.
