Answer

PINKY

This word refers to the smallest finger on the human hand, also known as the fifth digit or little finger. The term comes from the Dutch word 'pink' meaning 'small finger.' It is famously associated with the gesture of making a solemn promise by linking these fingers together, known as a 'promise' or 'swear.'

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle contains some less common letter combinations. The letters P, N, and K appearing together is relatively unusual in English, so if you are stuck, try words with consonant clusters that feel slightly awkward or less typical.
