SNIPE
verb
/snaɪp/
To shoot from a hiding place; also, to make a sly critical remark; a long-billed wading bird.
Similar: criticize, jab, ambush, shoot
Origin: From the bird name; later figurative senses of sniping remarks and sniper fire.
Difficulty 5.9/10
SNIPE overlaps with SNIDE, SPIKE, and SWIPE once S and E land. Multiple senses (bird, shot, remark) do not narrow the letter pattern early.
