What does WISPY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Thin, light and delicate, resembling a wisp; sparse and easily disturbed.
A wispy thing has little substance and seems ready to drift or scatter, whether it is a strand of hair, a trail of smoke or a thin cloud stretched across the sky. The word wispy suggests fragility and lightness rather than any particular colour or texture, and it is used just as easily of a beard, a curtain of fog, or a faint memory. Wispy appears throughout everyday descriptive writing and ordinary conversation.
