Answer

BLEED

This word describes the process of losing blood from the body, typically through a wound or injury. It comes from Old English and has been used in English for over a thousand years. Beyond its literal meaning, it can also be used metaphorically, such as when we say something bleeds color or when finances are slowly draining away.

Strategy Tip

Today's word contains a double letter, which can be tricky to identify. If you suspect a repeated letter, try placing it in different positions. Words with double E in the middle are fairly common in English, so keep that pattern in mind.
