slenderest
Least wide across
Slenderest is the superlative form of slender, meaning the most thin, slight, or narrow among a group: the slenderest branch on the tree, She had the slenderest fingers I'd ever seen.
It also applies to figurative uses—the slenderest hope, the slenderest margin of victory.
