Answer

LATTE

This word comes from the Italian caffe latte, which literally means milk coffee. In Italian, ordering just a latte would get you a glass of plain milk! The drink became popular in American coffee culture in the 1980s and is now one of the most commonly ordered espresso beverages worldwide.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features a double letter, which can be tricky. If your guesses keep coming up short on letters, consider that the word might repeat one. Words with double T are more common than you might think, so keep that pattern in mind when you are stuck.
