Answer

AMBER

Amber is fossilized tree resin that has been appreciated for its warm golden color and used in jewelry for thousands of years. The word comes from the Arabic 'anbar' which originally referred to ambergris, a completely different substance from whales. Scientists have discovered perfectly preserved prehistoric insects and even small animals trapped inside ancient amber, giving us windows into life millions of years ago.

Strategy Tip

Today's word uses all common letters with no repeats, which means good starting words that cover vowels like A and E along with common consonants like M, B, and R will serve you well. Words ending in ER are quite common in English, so keep that pattern in mind.
