What does FENNY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
literary
Of, relating to, or growing in a fen or marsh.
Fenny is the adjective built directly from fen, and it turns up mainly in older and literary English describing marshy ground or the creatures that live in it; one famous line of English drama even calls for a fenny snake. Modern writing about wetlands tends to prefer marshy or boggy, so meeting fenny today usually signals a deliberately old-fashioned or poetic register.
