Answer

TWIRL

Today's word means to spin around lightly or quickly, often with a sense of grace or playfulness. It can be used as both a verb describing the action and a noun referring to the spinning motion itself. The word has been part of English since the late 1500s and likely originated as a blend of twist and whirl.

Strategy Tip

Words with the WR or TW consonant combinations at the start can be tricky because these letter pairings are less common. If you suspect a word might start with a two consonant blend, try a guess that includes these combinations early to confirm or eliminate them.
