Spell Bee Word: Haircut


What does haircut mean?

Word: Haircut

Part of Speech: Noun

Meaning: Haircut means the cutting of someone's hair to make it shorter, usually by a barber or hairdresser. It also means the style your hair is cut into.

How do you spell haircut?

Syllables: hair - cut

Tricky part: The first part is the hair on your head, not the animal that sounds the same. The two parts join with no space or hyphen.

Watch out for: hercut, haercut

Memory tip: A hare is a rabbit-like animal, and nobody takes a hare to the barber. It is your h-a-i-r that gets the cut.

Haircut in a sentence

Example 1: Papa took me for a haircut before the summer holidays.

Example 2: My new haircut is so short that my ears feel cold.

Example 3: The barber gave Rohan a haircut in ten minutes.

Fun Fact

Hair grows about one centimetre a month, so even a very short haircut grows out in a few months.

Spell-o-Spell

Choose the correctly spelt word:

a) sizzors
b) haircut
c) barbur
d) frinje

Show answer

b) haircut. Scissors hides a silent c and a double s, so sizzors is far off; barbur and frinje each have one wrong letter.

Mingle-Mangle

Form a meaningful word from the jumbled letters:

tcrahui

a) haircut
b) hairctu
c) hairuct
d) hairtuc

Show answer

a) haircut. Hair comes first; the three letters left make a word for what scissors do.

Word Cookie

Find the misspelt word in the sentence:

Kunal's mother said he needed a haircutt before the school photo.

a) needed
b) haircutt
c) photo
d) mother

Show answer

b) haircutt. Cut has a single t, and so does haircut.

Word Connection

Choose the synonym of the word:

haircut

a) comb
b) trim
