Answer

FLAKE

This word can function as both a noun and a verb. As a noun, it describes a small, flat, thin piece that has come off a larger surface, most commonly associated with snow. In informal usage, calling someone this word suggests they are unreliable or eccentric, as in someone who might cancel plans at the last minute.

Words with common letter combinations like AKE at the end appear frequently in English. If you discover this pattern early, try cycling through different starting consonants to find the answer quickly.
