What does TWINY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
rare
Resembling twine; thin, tough and stringlike.
Twiny describes a strand, stem or fibre that looks or behaves like twine, the thin cord twisted from several strands. Gardeners use it for climbing plant stems that are wiry and tough enough to bind things together, while writers occasionally use it for anything long, thin and slightly twisted. The word is built directly from twine plus the adjective ending -y, in the same pattern as stringy or wiry. It stays close to its root meaning and is not used in any specialised technical sense.
