Answer

NORTH

Today's word is one of the four cardinal directions, pointing toward the top of most maps. It derives from Old English and Proto Germanic roots related to the direction where the sun does not travel in the Northern Hemisphere. The North Pole, the Arctic region, and phrases like up north all use this directional term.

Strategy Tip

Words with TH combinations are fairly common in English. If you discover these two letters together, try placing them at the end of the word, as many five letter words end in TH like MONTH, BIRTH, and EARTH.
