Answer

HAUNT

This word can function as both a verb and a noun. As a verb, it means to manifest as a ghost or spirit, or more figuratively, to persistently trouble or preoccupy someone. The word comes from Old French 'hanter' meaning to frequent or resort to a place. In modern usage, we also use 'haunt' to describe a place someone frequently visits, as in 'my old haunts.'

Strategy Tip

Today's word uses very common letters that appear frequently in English. When you have mostly common letters but are still stuck, try thinking about less obvious word meanings. Sometimes a word you know well as a noun might also work as a verb, or vice versa.
