Answer

MARSH

A marsh is a type of wetland characterized by soft, waterlogged ground and grasses or reeds. Unlike swamps which have trees, marshes typically feature low growing vegetation like cattails and sedges. Marshes serve as important ecosystems, filtering water and providing habitat for countless species of birds, fish, and amphibians.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has only one vowel, which can be tricky. If your early guesses reveal mostly consonants in yellow or green, consider words with minimal vowel usage. Words with just one A are more common than you might think!
