Answer

SPOKE

This word is the past tense of the verb speak, meaning to have communicated or expressed thoughts verbally. It comes from Old English sprecan, which evolved into the modern form we use today. The word is commonly used in everyday conversation and writing to describe verbal communication that occurred in the past.

Strategy Tip

Words ending in a silent E are common in English. If you have confirmed several consonants but the word still seems incomplete, try adding an E at the end to see if it clicks into place.
