Answer

ALOFT

ALOFT is an adverb meaning high up in the air, overhead, or at a great height. It comes from Old Norse roots, combining the prefix 'a' meaning 'on' with 'lopt' meaning 'air or sky.' You might hear sailors use this word when referring to climbing up the rigging or mast of a ship.

Strategy Tip

Words that end in FT can be tricky because this consonant cluster is not as common. If you suspect a word ends in T, consider testing for less obvious letter combinations like FT, PT, or CT.
