Answer

ALTER

ALTER means to change or make different, often in a relatively small but significant way. The word comes from the Latin 'alterare' meaning to change, which itself derives from 'alter' meaning 'other.' It is commonly used in contexts like tailoring clothes, adjusting documents, or modifying plans.

Strategy Tip

Words with common letter combinations like ER at the end are worth exploring early. Many five letter English words end in ER, so if you have confirmed those letters, building from there can help narrow down your options quickly.
