Answer

SHANK

SHANK has multiple meanings across different contexts. In anatomy, it refers to the part of the leg between the knee and ankle. In golf, it describes a mishit where the ball strikes the hosel of the club and shoots off at an angle. As a verb, it can mean to stab with an improvised blade, commonly used in prison slang.

Strategy Tip

Words with the SH blend at the start are moderately common in English. If you have confirmed an S in position one but are stuck, try adding an H next to see if you are dealing with a consonant blend like SH, which can help narrow down your options quickly.
