/ˈɜːbən/adjective
Related to the (or any) city.
URBAN is a 5-letter word with 2 vowels (U, A) and 3 consonants (R, B, N). Every letter is distinct, so it rarely punishes a clean opening guess.
It leans on high-frequency letters (R, A, N), 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.
