Answer

CARAT

A carat is a unit of weight used for measuring gemstones and pearls, equal to 200 milligrams. The word comes from the Greek word 'keration' meaning carob seed, as these seeds were historically used as balance weights due to their uniform size. Note that 'carat' for gems is different from 'karat' which measures gold purity.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has a repeated letter, specifically the letter A appearing twice. When you find a vowel in the right spot but your guess count is running low, consider whether that vowel might appear more than once in the word.
