Small whirlpool (4)

I think it could be either:

eddy

edwy

'small whirlpool' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for eddy that I've seen before include "Small circular movement of water" , "Founder of Christian Science, d. 1910" , "Whirl (in fluid)" , "Swirl; small whirlpool" , "religious leader" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, The Telegraph, the Penny Press, The New York Times, The Guardian, the USA Today, The Times, The Sun and the Newsday.
