Answer

AVAIL

AVAIL can be used as both a noun and a verb. As a verb, it means to help or benefit someone, while as a noun it refers to use or advantage. The word comes from the Old French word 'valoir' meaning 'to be worth,' which itself derives from Latin 'valere.' You often see it in phrases like 'to no avail' meaning something was unsuccessful despite efforts.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has three vowels out of five letters, including a repeated A. When you notice multiple vowels early in your guesses, consider words that are vowel heavy. Starting words like AUDIO or ADIEU can help you quickly identify vowel positions.
