Answer

JUDGE

This word serves as both a noun and a verb. As a noun, it refers to a public official who presides over court proceedings and makes legal decisions. As a verb, it means to form an opinion or conclusion about something. The word comes from the Old French 'juger' meaning to decide or sentence.

Strategy Tip

Words with J can be tricky since J is relatively uncommon in English. If you suspect a J word, try placing it at the beginning since J rarely appears in other positions. Today's puzzle also contains the common 'DGE' ending found in words like badge, ridge, and lodge.
