Answer

SHONE

This word is the simple past tense of a verb meaning to give off light or to be bright and radiant. It comes from the Old English word 'scinan' meaning to shed light or be radiant. The word is commonly used in both literal contexts, like describing how the sun appeared, and figurative ones, like saying someone performed brilliantly.

Strategy Tip

Words with the SH consonant blend can be tricky because both letters are common individually but the combination narrows things down quickly. If you suspect a blend like SH, TH, or CH, try a word containing it early to confirm or eliminate that pattern.
