Short direct answer: A common way to indicate the word “struggle” without vowels is “strggl” or more cleanly the 3-letter root VIE, with its vowels removed becoming “V” or “VIE” depending on crossword conventions. If you need a precise crossword fit, share the puzzle’s letter count and any crossing letters. If you’re looking for a vowel-stripped form that often appears in crosswords:
- 3 letters: VIE (no vowels removed here since it’s already compact)
- 4–6 letters commonly used for “struggle”: BATTLE, TUSSLE, FIGHT, WRESTLE, CONTEND, TOIL, LABOR
Notes for solving
- In crosswords, removing vowels typically yields consonant strings from longer words; you’ll often see patterns like V__ or V__L where crosses fill in missing vowels.
- If you have a specific clue length and crossing letters, provide them and the answer can be confirmed or narrowed down precisely.
