Answer

TEASE

This word can function as both a verb and a noun, describing the act of playfully mocking or tempting someone. It comes from Old English 'taesan' meaning to pluck or pull apart. The word has evolved to encompass everything from lighthearted banter between friends to the frustrating experience of being shown something desirable that remains just out of reach.

Strategy Tip

Today's word contains a repeated letter, specifically the same vowel appearing twice. When you have confirmed a vowel but cannot seem to place it correctly, consider that it might appear more than once in the word.
