woolliest

Softest and fuzziest

Woolliest is the superlative of woolly—having the most wool or wool-like texture.

Literally, it describes the sheep with the thickest fleece or the sweater with the fuzziest nap.

Figuratively, woolly means vague or muddled, so the woolliest thinking is the least clear: That's the woolliest argument I've ever heard.
