Answer

MINCE

Today's word refers to cutting food into extremely small pieces, finer than chopping or dicing. The word comes from the Old French word 'mincier' meaning to cut small. Interestingly, the phrase 'not mince words' means to speak directly without softening one's language.

Strategy Tip

Words with the NCE ending are fairly common in English. If you suspect this pattern, try words like SINCE, FENCE, or DANCE early to confirm or eliminate those letters.
