DODGY

adjective /ˈdɒdʒ.i/

The Word, Explained

DODGY /ˈdɒdʒ.i/ adjective

Evasive and shifty

"Asked why, a spokesman gave a dodgy answer about legal ramifications."

Close cousins: dodge, chancy, risky, flaky

Tricky because the repeated D 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.
