Answer

FROZE

This word is the past tense of freeze, meaning something became solid due to cold temperatures or someone stopped moving completely. It comes from the Old English word freosan. The word can be used both literally when describing ice formation and figuratively when someone becomes motionless from fear or surprise.

Strategy Tip

Words containing Z can be tricky since Z is one of the least common letters in English. If your early guesses eliminate most common consonants and you are stuck, consider trying words with uncommon letters like Z, X, or Q.
