Answer

AGONY

This word comes from the Greek word 'agonia' meaning a struggle or contest, which evolved through Latin to describe mental or physical suffering. It has been used in English since the 14th century and often appears in dramatic or literary contexts to convey extreme distress. The phrase 'in agony' is commonly used to describe someone experiencing severe pain.

Strategy Tip

Words ending in Y are quite common in English, so if you are stuck, trying words with Y in the final position can be a smart move. This puzzle also features two vowels that are not in the most common positions, so vary your vowel placement guesses.
