Answer

GRIPE

This word can function as both a noun and a verb, referring to a minor complaint or the act of expressing such complaints. It comes from Old English and has roots in the concept of grasping or seizing, perhaps reflecting how a complaint can take hold of someone. The word often carries a slightly dismissive tone, suggesting the complaints are trivial rather than serious concerns.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle contains a consonant blend at the start, which can be tricky. When you suspect a word might begin with two consonants, try common combinations like GR, TR, or CR early on to narrow down possibilities quickly.
