baldrics link does not confirm the owrd or a definition

"irkiest" would be the superlative of "irky"...and there is no word "irky"...hence, no "irkiest"

dannyk13

Apparently it is not a word

dannyk13

Superlative of irk is most irksome

If you want to invent a word....go ahead ! That is how the language grows.

Looks like a 'No' to me.

@dannyk..."superlative of irk is most irksome"....no, irk is a verb and most irksome is an adjectival phrase.
I said that (if irkiest was a real word), irky would be the adjective it came from...but there isn't a word "irky", so there can't be "irkiest" (or, for that matter, the comparative "irkier").

The clue would help.

I think this relates t a clue I saw on here yesterday when the letter pattern given led to something close to irkiestbeing suggested but the answer was then given as something else. Hopefully someone will remember seeing/doing it
