Holding the biggest grudge

SOREST

Think of how you might describe someone who's still angry about something long past—like the most tender spot on a wound that hasn’t healed.

"Holding the biggest grudge" plays on the word "sore," which can mean both physically painful and emotionally resentful. The answer "SOREST" takes it further by adding the superlative "-est," implying the most sore—or in this case, the most bitter or grudge-holding. It’s a clever twist where a common word for irritation gets stretched to fit the idea of an extreme, long-lasting grudge."
