What does MUDDY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Covered with, full of, or resembling mud; also used of colour, sound or thought that is unclear or confused.
Muddy describes ground, water, boots or clothing soaked or coated in mud, the wet, sticky earth left after rain. The word extends naturally to anything that shares mud's murky quality, so a muddy colour looks dull and brownish, a muddy river runs cloudy rather than clear, and a muddy explanation is confused and hard to follow. As a verb, to muddy something, such as muddying the waters, means to make a situation less clear on purpose. The literal and figurative senses stay close, both built on the idea of losing clarity.
How MUDDY is used
Common in everyday speech, used literally of wet ground and figuratively of anything unclear, from colour to argument.
