Answer

WHIRL

WHIRL means to spin or rotate rapidly around a central point. The word has Germanic origins, coming from Old Norse 'hvirfla' meaning to turn. You might encounter it describing the motion of a whirlpool, a whirlwind, or dancers spinning across a floor. The word can function as both a noun (as in 'give it a whirl') and a verb.

Strategy Tip

Today's word contains the WH combination at the start, which appears in many English words. If you suspect a word might start with WH, remember that guessing common WH words like WHILE, WHERE, or WHEAT can help you confirm or eliminate this pattern quickly.
