Answer

STRAW

Straw refers to the dry stalks of cereal plants that remain after grain and chaff have been removed. It has been used for thousands of years for animal bedding, thatched roofing, basket weaving, and more recently as biodegradable drinking tubes. The phrase 'the last straw' comes from the idea that even something small can break something already under strain.

Strategy Tip

Words ending in W can be tricky because this letter position is less common in English. If you suspect a W ending, try words like THROW, SHREW, or SCREW early to confirm or eliminate this pattern.
