/ˈkʌm.fi/adjective
Comfortable.
“The robe and slippers were so warm and comfy she just fell asleep in her chair.”
COMFY is a 5-letter word with 1 vowel (O) and 4 consonants (C, M, F, Y). Every letter is distinct, so it rarely punishes a clean opening guess.
It leans on high-frequency letters (O), so a strong vowel-and-common-consonant opener tends to light up quickly. There are no rare letters here, so it is a fair, mid-difficulty answer for the daily Classic puzzle.
Across the 2,412 curated answers in the Wordocious bank, O appears in 29% of answers (the 4th most common letter), C appears in 19% of answers (the 10th most common letter), Y appears in 17% of answers (the 13th most common letter). 29 other answers share the opening “CO-”, so two green tiles up front still leave real guessing to do.
Difficulty: 3/5 — moderate, because it uses at least one genuinely rare letter.
