Answer

FLANK

This word refers to the side of a person or animal between the ribs and hip, and is also used as a verb meaning to be positioned at the side of something. In culinary terms, a flank steak is a lean, flavorful cut taken from this area of the cow. The word has military origins, where flanking maneuvers involve attacking an enemy from the side rather than directly.

Strategy Tip

Words with the FL consonant blend at the start are fairly common in English. If you have confirmed an F in position one, trying common blends like FL, FR, or even just FA can help you narrow down options quickly.
