Answer

FLUME

A flume is a narrow channel or trough constructed to carry water, historically used in mining and logging operations to transport materials downstream. The word comes from the Latin 'flumen' meaning river. Today, you might recognize it from water park rides called log flumes, where riders float down an artificial water channel before a big splash.

Strategy Tip

Today's word contains the letter combination FL at the start, which is fairly common. When you identify consonant clusters like FL, BL, or TR early, it can help you narrow down possibilities quickly since these combinations limit what vowels and letters can follow.
