Answer

SCANT

Today's word is an adjective meaning barely sufficient or inadequate in amount. It comes from Old Norse 'skamt' meaning short or brief. The word is commonly used to describe limited quantities, such as 'scant attention' or 'scant evidence,' and can also be used as a verb meaning to provide an insufficient amount of something.

Strategy Tip

Words with common consonant clusters like SC or NT at the beginning or end can be tricky. If you suspect a blend like this, try words that test these combinations early. Many English words feature ST, SC, or NT patterns.
