What is a "squidger"?
A squidger is a tool used in the game of tiddlywinks, typically made of plastic or wood, that players use to press down on a winkle, which is a small disc-shaped game piece, in order to make it jump. The squidger is pressed down on the winkle with enough force to flick it into the air, aiming to land it in a target area or onto another winkle. It has a flat, rounded shape that helps players apply even pressure. The squidger is an essential part of tiddlywinks, as it enables players to execute the key action of the game.
Example
The player used the squidger to make the winkle jump into the cup.
She pressed down firmly on the squidger, sending the winkle flying across the table.
