Answer

INEPT

This adjective comes from the Latin word ineptus, meaning unsuitable or absurd. It combines the prefix in (meaning not) with aptus (meaning fit or suitable). Today the word is commonly used to describe someone who lacks skill, competence, or ability in a particular area.

Strategy Tip

Words that start with vowels can be tricky because many players focus on consonant heavy starting words. Consider using a second guess that places vowels in different positions to help narrow down their locations.
