Answer

EXACT

The word means strictly accurate or correct in every detail, without any margin of error. It comes from the Latin word 'exactus,' meaning 'to drive out' or 'to demand,' which evolved to mean 'carefully ascertained' or 'precise.' The word can function as both an adjective describing precision and a verb meaning to demand or require something.

Strategy Tip

If you suspect an uncommon letter might be in play, do not be afraid to guess a word containing X, Z, or Q earlier than usual. Words like TAXED, BOXER, or PIXEL can help you confirm or eliminate these tricky letters.
