Answer

TOUGH

TOUGH is an adjective meaning strong enough to withstand adverse conditions, difficult to cut or chew, or demanding and challenging. It comes from Old English 'toh' meaning strong or firm. The word is versatile, describing everything from physical resilience to emotional fortitude to the difficulty of a task.

Strategy Tip

Today's word features the GH combination that makes no sound, which is a classic English spelling quirk. Words like ROUGH, COUGH, and DOUGH share this pattern. When you see an H in your results, consider that it might be part of a silent letter combination rather than standing alone.
