Match the verb form before choosing an answer
“Accumulate” can be a base-form verb, while “accumulates,” “accumulated,” and “accumulating” require different grammar. A crossing pattern that fits AMASS may still be wrong if the clue calls for a past-tense form.
AMASS and GATHER are neutral general synonyms. HOARD suggests keeping a supply, STORE emphasizes future use, COLLECT emphasizes bringing things together, and STACK implies forming a pile.
Selection checklist
- Base form: AMASS, GATHER, HOARD, STORE, COLLECT, or STACK.
- Third-person present: AMASSES. Past tense: AMASSED. Present participle: AMASSING.
- Use the clue’s object and tone to distinguish neutral gathering from hoarding, storing, or stacking.
