Answer

CACHE

The word CACHE comes from the French word cacher, meaning to hide. It has multiple uses in modern English: a hidden collection of items stored for future use, a secret storage place, and in computing, a component that stores data so future requests can be served faster. The pronunciation sounds like CASH, which often surprises people who first encounter it in writing.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle contains a repeated letter, which can be tricky. If you are stuck and have confirmed several letters, consider whether one of them might appear twice in the word. Many players forget to test this possibility!
