Answer

WHARF

A wharf is a level surface built along the shore of a harbor where ships can dock to load and unload cargo or passengers. The word comes from Old English hwearf meaning a shore or bank. Famous wharves include Fishermans Wharf in San Francisco and Circular Quay in Sydney.

Strategy Tip

Words with WH at the start can be tricky since this letter combination is less common. If you see a W confirmed in position one, consider trying WH words like WHILE, WHERE, or WHEAT to test the pattern.
