Word of the Week

guile

Meaning: someone who is deceitful, cunning and acting deliberately to deceive

Example of using it in a sentence “Acting like you have done your homework, when you know full well you haven’t even opened this week’s pack is an act of guile."

This Old Norse word means to be wile – a fraudster

Spelling tip: Notice we have that silent letter ‘u’ in this word just like the last two weeks. Write it out a number of times so you learn the shape of the word and don’t forget that word.

                                                               g + u + i + l + e

Use the word as many times throughout the week. This can be verbally, in your written work or listen out for other people using it.
