Answer

APPLY

APPLY is a versatile verb with two main meanings: to make a formal request for something like a job or permit, or to put something into action or use. The word comes from the Latin 'applicare' meaning to attach or join to. In everyday life, we apply for opportunities, apply pressure, or apply rules to situations.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has double letters, which can be tricky. If you suspect a repeated letter, try words that test common doubles like LL, PP, or SS early in your guessing sequence.
