What does MURKY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Dark and difficult to see through, whether describing water, air or a situation.
Water or air described as murky is clouded by dirt, sediment or mist so that little can be seen clearly through it, and the same word extends easily to weather and dim light. Beyond the physical sense, murky often describes circumstances, dealings or motives that are morally doubtful or hard to make sense of. The older spelling mirky records the same word but is far less common in modern writing.
How MURKY is used
Common in both literal descriptions of dirty water or dim light and in figurative talk of dishonest or unclear dealings.
- The river ran murky after days of heavy rain.

- Reporters uncovered murky details about the deal.
- A murky fog settled over the harbour at dusk.
