The specific taste or smell of something.

SAVOR as a word-puzzle answer

SAVOR is a 5-letter word with 2 vowels (A, O) and 3 consonants (S, V, R). Every letter is distinct, so it rarely punishes a clean opening guess.

It leans on high-frequency letters (S, A, O, R), so a strong vowel-and-common-consonant opener tends to light up quickly. Watch for the less-common letter V — saving a guess to test it once the vowels are placed is usually the fastest route.
