Answer

BURLY

Today's word is an adjective that describes someone who is large, strong, and heavy set. It comes from Middle English and originally referred to someone of excellent quality or stately appearance before evolving to describe physical bulk and strength. You will often see this word paired with professions that require physical power, like burly construction workers or burly security guards.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle has only one vowel, which can make it tricky. When your early guesses reveal few vowels, try words with U or Y as potential vowels since these are less commonly tested first. The letter Y can function as a vowel at the end of many five letter words.
