Answer

ACORN

An acorn is the fruit of an oak tree, consisting of a smooth oval nut in a rough cup shaped base. The word comes from Old English 'aecern' meaning fruit of the forest. Acorns have been an important food source throughout history, and the phrase 'mighty oaks from little acorns grow' reminds us that great things often have small beginnings.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has two vowels that are not next to each other, which is a common pattern in English. When you have confirmed consonants but are struggling with vowel placement, try words that spread vowels across different positions.
