Answer

FLOCK

This word refers to a group of birds, sheep, or goats that stay together. It can also be used as a verb meaning to gather or move in a crowd, as in people flocking to a sale. The word comes from Old English 'flocc' meaning a band or troop of people.

Strategy Tip

Words with the CK ending are fairly common in English. If you suspect a word ends this way, try words like BLOCK, STOCK, or CLOCK early to confirm both letters at once.
