What does STIMY mean in Scrabble?
verb
informal
To block, hinder, or obstruct someone's plan or progress; a variant spelling of stymie.
Stimy is one of several accepted spellings of the more common verb stymie, alongside stymy and stimie. Golf writers originally used the word for a situation where one ball blocked another player's path to the hole on the green. The sense soon spread beyond golf, so a delayed shipment or a stubborn committee can just as easily stimy a plan today. Dictionaries list stimy as a minor spelling variant rather than a separate word with its own distinct history.
