Answer

WITCH

This word refers to a person, traditionally female, who is believed to possess magical powers and practice sorcery. The word comes from Old English 'wicce' for a female practitioner of magic. Throughout history, it has appeared in countless stories, from Shakespeare's Macbeth to The Wizard of Oz, and remains a popular Halloween costume and fantasy character.

Strategy Tip

Words with the TCH letter combination can be tricky because they sound like just one sound but use three letters. If you suspect a word ends in a 'ch' sound, consider whether it might actually be TCH like in today's puzzle.
