/ˈmʊʃi/adjective
Resembling or having the consistency of mush; semiliquid, pasty, or granular.
“I don't especially like mushy oatmeal.”
MUSHY is a 5-letter word with 1 vowel (U) and 4 consonants (M, S, H, Y). Every letter is distinct, so it rarely punishes a clean opening guess.
It leans on high-frequency letters (S), 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.
