Answer

ERODE

Today's word means to gradually wear away or destroy something through natural forces like water, wind, or time. It comes from the Latin 'erodere,' meaning 'to gnaw away.' The word is commonly used in geology when discussing how landscapes change, but it can also be used metaphorically to describe the gradual loss of rights, trust, or confidence.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has three vowels and includes a repeated letter. Words with multiple vowels can be tricky because common starting words like SLATE or CRANE might miss several key letters. Consider trying a vowel heavy starter to identify those early.
