/ˈfʊnɪ/noun
A joke.
FUNNY is a 5-letter word with 1 vowel (U) and 4 consonants (F, N, N, Y). It repeats 1 letter, which is a classic trap — guessers who assume five distinct letters get stuck.
It leans on high-frequency letters (N), 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.
