Answer

SCRAM

SCRAM is an informal verb meaning to leave or depart quickly, often used as a command to tell someone to go away. The word became popular in American English in the early 20th century and may have originated from the word scramble. Interestingly, in nuclear physics, SCRAM also refers to an emergency shutdown of a nuclear reactor.

Strategy Tip

Words with consonant clusters at the beginning, like SC or CR, can be tricky to identify. If you suspect a blend at the start, try words that test common two letter combinations to narrow down your options.
