Answer

SPOUT

SPOUT can function as both a noun and a verb. As a noun, it refers to a tube or lip through which liquid is poured, commonly found on kettles, teapots, and watering cans. As a verb, it means to send out liquid forcefully, like when a whale spouts water through its blowhole. The word can also informally mean to speak at length in a pompous way.

Strategy Tip

When you have common consonants like S and T confirmed, try placing them at the beginning and end of the word. Many English words follow the pattern of starting with S and ending with T, so testing this arrangement early can be very effective.
