FLAIL
noun /fleɪl/
The Word, Explained
A tool used for threshing, consisting of a long handle with a shorter stick attached with a short piece of chain, thong or similar material.
"He was flailing wildly, but didn't land a blow."
Close cousins: thrashel, threshel, thrash
Tricky because the repeated L trips up guesses that assume five unique letters.
