The Word, Explained
A grating; a grid of wire or a sheet of material with a pattern of holes or slots, usually used to protect something while allowing the passage of air and liquids. Typical uses: to allow air through a fan while preventing fingers or objects from passing; to allow people to talk to somebody, while preventing attack.
"I put some peppers and mushrooms on the grill to go with dinner."
Close cousins: fronts, golds
Tricky because the repeated L trips up guesses that assume five unique letters, and with a single vowel, early guesses reveal little.
