Answer

GNASH

This word means to grind or strike the teeth together, typically as an expression of anger, frustration, or anguish. It appears frequently in literature and religious texts in phrases like 'wailing and gnashing of teeth.' The word comes from Middle English and has Germanic origins, related to similar words in Old Norse.

Strategy Tip

Today's word begins with GN, which is an uncommon consonant cluster in English. Remember that G can sometimes be silent at the start of words, so if you are stuck, consider trying less common letter combinations at word beginnings.
