Why this answer
The letters, categories, or grid logic that made this one tricky.
What made this one tricky:
- SNIPE: opens with the SN consonant blend.
SNIPE pairs the opening SN- blend with a final silent E that gives the I its long sound. That pattern can send solvers toward more common -INE or -ITE endings, but the P closes the middle cleanly. The word has no repeated letters. It can name a long-billed wetland bird; as a verb, it can mean shooting from concealment or making a last-second bid.

A useful solve path
Once S and N are placed near the front, test words that preserve both vowels instead of spending guesses on doubled letters. The silent-E pattern is the key to reading the long I.
