Answer

TWANG

TWANG refers to a sharp, vibrating sound, like that made by a taut string when plucked or released. The word can also describe a distinctive manner of speaking, particularly the nasal quality often associated with certain American regional accents. It works both as a noun describing the sound and as a verb meaning to produce such a sound.

Strategy Tip

Words with TW at the beginning are less common but not rare. If you have confirmed a T in your puzzle, consider trying words that start with common two letter combinations like TW, TR, or TH to quickly narrow down possibilities.
