Answer

ASCOT

An ascot is a type of wide necktie or scarf, typically made of silk, that is looped under the chin and secured with a decorative pin. The name comes from Ascot Heath, a famous racecourse in Berkshire, England, where this formal neckwear became fashionable at high society events. Royal Ascot remains one of the most prestigious horse racing events where traditional dress codes still encourage such elegant attire.

Strategy Tip

When you have confirmed vowels but are struggling with consonant placement, try words with common consonant clusters like SC or ST. These combinations appear frequently in English and can help you lock down multiple letters at once.
