Answer

CHORD

A chord is a group of notes sounded together in harmony, typically three or more. The word comes from Middle English 'cord,' which was a shortened form of 'accord' meaning agreement or harmony. Interestingly, the word has a secondary meaning in mathematics and geometry, referring to a straight line connecting two points on a curve.

Strategy Tip

Today's word contains the CH combination at the start, which is fairly common in English. When you have confirmed a C in your puzzle, consider trying words with common consonant clusters like CH, CR, or CL to quickly narrow down possibilities.
