Answer

RETRY

RETRY is a verb meaning to make another attempt at something, typically after an initial failure. The word combines the prefix 're' meaning again with 'try' meaning to attempt. It has become especially common in the digital age, appearing frequently on error screens and in gaming contexts when players are given another chance.

Strategy Tip

Today's word contains a repeated letter, which can throw off many players. When you have confirmed several letters but the word is not coming together, consider whether one of those letters might appear twice. The double R pattern is particularly tricky because it is less common than double vowels.
