Answer

TRAWL

To trawl means to fish with a trawl net or seine, dragging it through the water to catch fish. The word comes from the Dutch word 'tragelen' meaning to drag. Beyond fishing, people commonly use this word figuratively to mean searching thoroughly through something, like trawling through documents or trawling the internet for information.

Strategy Tip

Words with the W in the middle position can be tricky since W is not always the first letter players think to try. If you suspect a word has unusual letter placement, try words that put less common consonants in different positions to narrow things down.
