Wordle answer #667
WHIFF
noun
The Word, Explained
A waft; a brief, gentle breeze; a light gust of air
Close cousins: sniff, puff, waft
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.
