Answer

SLANG

This word refers to informal language that is typically used within specific social groups or subcultures. It often evolves quickly and can become outdated just as fast. The term comes from the 18th century and originally referred to the special vocabulary of criminals and vagrants before broadening to mean any casual, nonstandard language.

Strategy Tip

Words with common consonant clusters like SL at the beginning can be tricky because players often try vowel heavy openings first. Consider occasionally using a starter that tests consonant combinations to rule them in or out early.
