Answer

This word is an ordinal number, meaning it describes position rather than quantity. It derives from Old English and has been used in English for over a thousand years. Beyond rankings, it appears in expressions like 'third wheel' or 'third party' to describe someone outside a pair or main group.

Strategy Tip

Words with TH at the beginning are fairly common in English. If you suspect a word starts with TH, try a starting word that confirms or eliminates this combination early in your solving process.
