Answer

VIOLA

A viola is a stringed musical instrument in the violin family, positioned between the violin and cello in terms of size and pitch. It plays in the alto range and is an essential part of orchestras and string quartets. The name comes from the Italian word for the instrument, and Viola is also a popular given name, famously used by Shakespeare for the protagonist of Twelfth Night.

Strategy Tip

Today's word is vowel heavy with three vowels in a five letter word. When you notice your guesses are revealing multiple vowels, consider words from other languages like Italian or Spanish, which often have more vowel density than typical English words.
