nimblest
Quickest on feet
Nimblest is the superlative form of nimble—the most quick and light in movement or thought.
A nimble person moves with easy agility; the nimblest moves with the most: She was the nimblest climber in the group.
Nimble also describes mental quickness, so the nimblest thinker is the sharpest or most adaptable.
