/ˈɹiːɡəl/adjective
Of or relating to royalty.
“regal authority; the regal title”
REGAL is a 5-letter word with 2 vowels (E, A) and 3 consonants (R, G, L). Every letter is distinct, so it rarely punishes a clean opening guess.
It leans on high-frequency letters (R, E, A), so a strong vowel-and-common-consonant opener tends to light up quickly. There are no rare letters here, so it is a fair, mid-difficulty answer for the daily Classic puzzle.
