Answer

WIMPY

This adjective describes someone who lacks courage or physical strength, often used to characterize a person who is easily frightened or submissive. The word gained widespread recognition through the character Wimpy from the Popeye comic strip and cartoons, who was known for his meek demeanor and love of hamburgers. It can also be used informally to describe something that is weak or unimpressive in quality.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle contains the less common letter W in the starting position. If your usual starting words focus only on common letters like E, A, R, S, and T, consider occasionally trying words with W to cover more ground when you get stuck.
