Answer

GRIPE

Today's word means to complain or express discontent, often about relatively minor matters. It can be used as both a noun, referring to a complaint itself, and as a verb meaning to voice that complaint. The word has origins in Old French and has been used in English since medieval times to describe petty grievances.

Strategy Tip

Words with the common GR consonant blend at the start are worth considering when you have confirmed a G in position one. Many five letter words begin with GR, so having that second letter can really narrow things down quickly.
