Wordle answer #76
FLICK
noun /flɪk/
The Word, Explained
A short, quick movement, especially a brush, sweep, or flip.
"He removed the speck of dust with a flick of his finger."
Close cousins: fillip, pictures
Tricky because it leans on letters most starting words never probe, and with a single vowel, early guesses reveal little.
