Answer

GONER

Today's word is informal slang that describes a person or thing that is doomed, ruined, or beyond saving. It comes from the word 'gone' with the addition of the suffix 'er' to create a noun. The term became popular in American English and is often used in a somewhat humorous or resigned way to describe someone in an inescapable predicament.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle uses all very common letters with no repeats. When you have eliminated unusual letters early on, focus on common consonants like N and R, which appear frequently in English words and can help you narrow down possibilities quickly.
