Answer

NUDGE

This word comes from Scandinavian origins, likely from Norwegian 'nugge' meaning to push or rub. It describes a gentle push, typically with the elbow, or more figuratively, any subtle encouragement to prompt someone toward an action or decision. The concept has become popular in behavioral economics, where small changes in how choices are presented can influence decisions.

Strategy Tip

Today's word uses a fairly common consonant blend at the beginning that appears in many English words. When you have confirmed a few letters, think about common consonant combinations that naturally go together.
