Answer

AWFUL

This adjective comes from the word awe, which originally meant fear or dread rather than wonder. Over time, the meaning evolved so that awe took on more positive connotations of amazement, while this word retained the negative sense of inspiring terror or being extremely bad. It is commonly used in everyday speech to express strong disapproval.

Strategy Tip

Words containing W can be tricky since W is less common in English. If you have eliminated the usual suspects, consider trying words with W, especially when you have confirmed vowels in unusual positions.
