Answer

PHOTO

PHOTO is a shortened form of photograph, which comes from Greek roots meaning light and writing or drawing. The word literally means drawing with light, which perfectly describes how cameras capture images by recording light patterns. This abbreviation became popular as photography became more casual and widespread in everyday life.

Strategy Tip

Today's word features a repeated letter, which can trip up solvers who assume each letter appears only once. When you see a letter turn yellow but cannot find its correct position, consider whether it might appear twice in the word.
