Answer

BUDGE

This verb means to move slightly or to cause something to move when it seems stuck or resistant. It comes from the Old French word 'bouger' meaning to stir. The word is often used in negative constructions, such as 'He refused to budge' or 'The door would not budge an inch.'

Strategy Tip

Words with the DG combination can be tricky since it is not the most common letter pair. If you have confirmed a D in your word, consider that it might pair with G to make that soft sound, as in today's puzzle.
