Answer

ANVIL

An anvil is a heavy block of iron or steel with a flat top, used by blacksmiths and metalworkers as a surface for hammering and shaping heated metal. The word comes from Old English 'anfilt' and has been used for centuries in metalworking. Anvils have become iconic in popular culture, especially in cartoons like Looney Tunes where they famously drop on characters.

Strategy Tip

Today's word contains the letter V, which appears in less than 5% of English words. If you are stuck on a puzzle, trying words with uncommon consonants like V, J, or X can quickly confirm or eliminate possibilities.
