Answer

TRAIL

Today's word can function as both a noun and a verb. As a noun, it refers to a marked path through a natural environment, while as a verb it means to follow behind something or someone. The word comes from the Old French 'trailler' meaning to tow or drag, which itself derives from Latin 'tragula' meaning dragnet.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle uses very common letters that appear frequently in English words. When your early guesses reveal common letters like T, R, A, I, and L, focus on how they might be arranged rather than hunting for unusual letters. Position matters as much as knowing which letters are in the word.
