Answer

CRUMB

A crumb is a small fragment or particle that falls from bread, cake, crackers, or other baked goods. The word comes from Old English 'cruma' meaning a small piece or morsel. Beyond its literal meaning, crumb can also be used figuratively to mean a tiny amount of something, as in 'a crumb of comfort' or 'not a crumb of evidence.'

Strategy Tip

Today's word has an unusual consonant cluster at the end with MB, where the B is silent when spoken. Words ending in MB like CLIMB, THUMB, and LAMB can be tricky because we do not hear that final B. When you are stuck, consider silent letter combinations.
