Answer

SPECK

A speck refers to a very small spot, mark, or particle of something. The word comes from Old English 'specca' meaning a small spot or stain. It is often used to describe tiny bits of dust, dirt, or other minuscule particles that are barely visible to the eye.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has the consonant cluster CK at the end, which is a common English ending. When you confirm a K in the final position, consider whether CK might be the actual ending since this combination appears in many words like check, stick, and black.
