Answer

KNIFE

This everyday word refers to a cutting instrument with a blade attached to a handle. The word comes from Old English cnif and is related to similar words in other Germanic languages. Throughout history, this tool has been essential for both practical uses in cooking and as a symbol in various cultural traditions.

Strategy Tip

Words starting with K can be tricky because K is not as common as other consonants. If your early guesses eliminate the most frequent letters without success, consider trying less common starting letters like K, W, or Y.
