Answer

FOIST

FOIST means to impose something unwanted on someone through trickery, pressure, or deception. The word has origins in Dutch, coming from the word 'vuisten' meaning to take in hand. It is commonly used in phrases like 'foist something off on someone' when describing the act of passing along unwanted items or responsibilities.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle contains the OI vowel combination, which is less common than EA or OU patterns. When you have confirmed a vowel but standard placements are not working, consider unusual vowel pairings in the middle of words.
