Answer

DWELT

Today's word is the past tense of 'dwell,' which means to live or reside in a place. It comes from Old English 'dwellan,' which originally meant to lead astray or hinder, but evolved over centuries to mean staying in one place. You will often encounter this word in literary or formal contexts, such as stories and historical writing.

Strategy Tip

Words ending in consonant clusters like LT can be tricky. If you suspect an unusual ending, try a word with common consonant combinations early to test your theory. Remember that past tense verbs ending in T rather than ED are often irregular and worth considering.
