Answer

CLOWN

A clown is a comic performer known for exaggerated costumes, colorful makeup, and humorous antics. The word has been used in English since the 1560s, originally meaning a rustic or peasant before evolving to describe theatrical jesters and circus entertainers. Today it can also be used informally to describe someone acting foolishly.

Strategy Tip

Words with the CL consonant blend at the start are fairly common in English. If you have confirmed a C in the first position, try words beginning with common blends like CL, CR, or CH to quickly narrow down your options.
