What does WOOFY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
rare
Having a close, dense texture, thickly woven or compacted throughout.
Woofy comes from woof, the threads that run crosswise through a woven fabric, and originally described cloth so tightly woven that little light passed through it. Writers later stretched the word to anything with a similarly dense, compacted feel, such as a woofy cloud or a woofy mat. The word is rare today and turns up mostly in older descriptive writing rather than everyday speech.
