Answer

BELIE

This verb means to fail to give a true impression of something, or to show something to be false. It comes from the Old English word 'beleogan' meaning 'to deceive by lying.' The word is often used in literary contexts when appearances are misleading, such as when someone's calm exterior belies their inner anxiety.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has a repeated letter, which can trip up even experienced players. When you have most letters but something feels off, consider that one letter might appear twice. Words with double vowels especially can be tricky!
