Answer

ISLET

An islet is a very small island, typically one that is uninhabited or too small for significant settlement. The word comes from the Old French word 'isle' combined with the diminutive suffix 'et' meaning little. In biology, the term is also used in 'Islets of Langerhans' which are clusters of cells in the pancreas that produce insulin.

Strategy Tip

Words ending in common suffixes like ET, LET, or IST can be tricky because our brains do not always think of them as endings. When you have confirmed some letters, consider whether adding a common suffix might complete the word.
