Definition
DIMLYadverb
In a faint, poorly lit, or indistinct manner; with little light or clarity.
The old hallway was dimly lit by a single flickering bulb at the far end.
Was this a hard one?
DIMLY can trip up Wordle players because the uncommon ending "-LY" on a five-letter word leaves few letters to work with, and the pairing of "D" and "M" in close proximity is an easy pattern to overlook. Players may also struggle to distinguish it from similarly structured adverbs like DILLY or TILLY.
