Wordle answer #1779
PUFFY
adjective /ˈpʌfi/
The Word, Explained
Swollen or inflated in shape, as if filled with air; pillow-like.
"A puffy fat man in a tracksuit came jogging around the corner."
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.
