Answer

SCRAP

This versatile word can function as both a noun and a verb. As a noun, it refers to small pieces or fragments of something left over, especially waste material like scrap metal. As a verb, it means to discard or abolish something, or informally, to engage in a brief fight or quarrel.

Strategy Tip

Words with common consonant clusters like SC at the beginning can be tricky. If you suspect a word starts with S, try a guess that includes common consonant pairs to test multiple patterns at once.
