Answer

PASTA

This word comes from Italian and refers to a food made from unleavened dough of wheat flour mixed with water or eggs, formed into sheets or shapes and cooked by boiling or baking. The word itself derives from the Late Latin word for dough or pastry cake. It became a staple of Italian cuisine and has since spread worldwide as a beloved comfort food.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features a repeated letter, which can throw off many players. When you have confirmed some letters but cannot find the answer, consider whether one of your green or yellow letters might appear twice in the word.
