Answer

FROWN

This word describes a facial expression showing displeasure, sadness, or concentration, characterized by turned down corners of the mouth and often furrowed eyebrows. The word comes from the Old French 'frognier,' meaning to snort or turn up the nose. It can be used as both a noun describing the expression itself and a verb meaning to make that expression.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has a consonant cluster at the beginning, which is fairly common in English. If you suspect your answer has two consonants together, try starting words that test common clusters like FR, TR, or CR to quickly narrow down your options.
