FILLY

noun /ˈfɪli/

The Word, Explained

FILLY /ˈfɪli/ noun

A young female horse.

"Hey, Homer, get a load of the gams on that filly!"

Tricky because the repeated L 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.
