Why this answer
The letters, categories, or grid logic that made this one tricky.
What made this one tricky:
- DIVER: has 2 vowel slots.
DIVER is a person who dives, especially into water. The V in the middle is the main letter to uncover; once the D start, two vowels, and R ending are fixed, the answer becomes much easier to separate from other water-related words.

More from the desk
A practical solve path is to test common D words after the vowels land. DIVER is a clean five-letter noun, and the V does a lot of narrowing work because it rules out many softer D-I-E patterns.
