Answer

CROAK

This word describes the deep, hoarse sound made by frogs and ravens. It comes from Middle English and is imitative in origin, meaning the word itself sounds like the noise it describes. In slang, it can also mean to die or to speak in a hoarse voice.

Strategy Tip

Words with the OA vowel combination can be tricky because players often try more common vowel patterns first. If you suspect a word has two vowels together, try combinations like OA, EA, or OU early on.
