Answer

BEEFY

This adjective describes something or someone that is large, strong, and muscular, derived from the noun for cattle meat. The word has been in English usage since the early 1700s, originally meaning literally resembling beef, but it evolved to describe robust, sturdy physical characteristics. It is commonly used informally to describe someone with a notably strong or bulky build.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features a repeated letter, which can throw off many players. When you have confirmed some letters but cannot find the answer, consider whether one of your green or yellow letters might appear twice in the word.
