What does FLAWY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
archaicdialect
Full of flaws or defects; also, marked by sudden brief gusts of wind.
Flawy most often describes something damaged or imperfect, such as flawy glass with visible cracks running through it. An older, separate use applies the word to weather, calling a squally, gusty spell of wind flawy because it comes and goes in short bursts. Both senses share the idea of something broken into uneven parts rather than steady and whole.
