The Word, Explained
To become bigger, especially due to being engorged.
"Rains and dissolving snow swell the rivers in spring."
Close cousins: dandy, dude, toff, fork
Tricky because the repeated L trips up guesses that assume five unique letters, and with a single vowel, early guesses reveal little.
