Wordle answer #1150
SKIFF
noun /skɪf/
The Word, Explained
Term used in tea gardens and denotes the act of cutting/pruning the bushes as per the specific norms. Various types of skiff are used viz Light Skiff (LS), Medium Skiff (MS), Deep Skiff (DS) and Level Of Skiff (LOS).
"A skiff of rain blew into the shed and the two men moved their chairs back."
Tricky because the repeated F trips up guesses that assume five unique letters, and it leans on letters most starting words never probe, and with a single vowel, early guesses reveal little.
