Answer

CRUSH

This versatile word can function as both a noun and verb with quite different meanings. As a verb, it means to compress or squeeze something with great force. As a noun, it commonly refers to an intense but typically brief romantic infatuation, especially among young people. The word comes from the Old French word cruissir, meaning to crack or break.

Strategy Tip

Today's word contains the common consonant blend CR at the start. Many English words begin with CR, so if you identify this pattern early, try words like CRANE, CRISP, or CROAK to narrow down the remaining letters efficiently.
