It’s easy to begin, but it can become wonderfully challenging as you zone in!
If you want to work it out for yourself, here are some friendly hints to guide you along:
Starting Letter: T
Ending Letter: M
Vowel Count: Single vowel
Word Type: Noun and verb
Meaning Clue: A low, continuous vibration or hum

Beginning with STEAK shows you two yellow vowels, A and E, but they aren’t in the solution. A second attempt such as CRANE puts the vowels in the right spot, narrowing the choices down to a smaller list.
You might find here that the word is heavy with consonants. If you can’t think of it, attempt something you can feel or something related to sounds. That low, constant sound that you can feel almost? That is your word.
Avoid being misled by food or nature-themed guesses after trying STEAK or GLADE, today’s word isn’t related to food or landscapes.
Watch out for overusing vowels, this word is mostly consonants, which makes it trickier to spot.
Still stumped? Here’s the solution: THRUM
A thrum is a low, steady humming noise, such as machinery in the background or fingers tapping delicately on a table. The term came from Middle English, where it initially described loose threads or fringes that remained on a loom. Later, it came to express the sense of murmuring, steady noise.
