TULLE as a word-puzzle answer

TULLE is a 5-letter word with 2 vowels (U, E) and 3 consonants (T, L, L). It repeats 1 letter, which is a classic trap — guessers who assume five distinct letters get stuck.

It leans on high-frequency letters (T, E), 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.
