Answer

SLICK

This word can function as both an adjective and a verb. As an adjective, it describes something smooth and glossy, or someone who is clever in a slightly untrustworthy way. The word likely originated from Middle English and has connections to Old Norse words meaning smooth or sleek. You might hear it used in phrases like 'a slick operation' or see it on warning signs about icy roads.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has a consonant cluster at the beginning, which is common in English. When you see unusual letter combinations not appearing in your guesses, try words that start with blends like SL, TR, or CR to quickly test multiple consonants at once.
