snuggly is not in dictionary.com

However:

usage rates:

  • snugly 5,370,000 google hits
  • snuggly 1,850,000 google hits (which is quite a few hits for something that looks a lot like a misspelling)

Here are the different references to check

I know the dictionaries don't agree with me, but "snugly" and "snuggly" appear to be different words. "Snugly" looks like the adverbial form of "snug" (The cap fit him snugly.), while "snuggly" (or perhaps "snuggley") looks like the adjective form of "snuggle" (Bears are warm and snuggl[e]y.).

The Google hits confirm that most people (aside from dictionary editors) think that "snuggly" is the adjectival form of "snuggle", so I updated this entry to reflect that. Rodasmith 18:48, 25 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
