Small whirlpool (4)

I think it could be either:

eddy

edwy

'small whirlpool' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

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 New York Times, The Guardian, the Penny Press, The Independent, the Universal, The Sun, the USA Today, The Times, the Newsday and The Telegraph.
