/ˈəʊmiːɡə/noun
The twenty-fourth letter of the Classical and the Modern Greek alphabet, and the twenty-eighth letter of the Old and the Ancient Greek alphabet, i.e. the last letter of every Greek alphabet. Uppercase version: Ω; lowercase: ω.
OMEGA is a 5-letter word with 3 vowels (O, E, A) and 2 consonants (M, G). Every letter is distinct, so it rarely punishes a clean opening guess.
It leans on high-frequency letters (O, 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.
