Answer

ADAPT

This word comes from the Latin 'adaptare,' meaning 'to fit.' It describes the process of adjusting to new conditions, whether physical, social, or environmental. The concept is central to Darwin's theory of evolution, where species that best do this to their environments are more likely to survive and reproduce.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features a repeated letter, which can trip up even experienced players. When you have confirmed several letters but the word still seems incomplete, consider whether one letter might appear twice. Words with double A patterns are less common but worth remembering.
