Scarce

Scarce means that there is not a lot of something, making it hard to find or get. For example, if there are only a few toys left in a store, those toys are scarce.

Examples

• Fresh strawberries are scarce at the store during winter, so we might need to wait until summer to enjoy them.
• In the game, special coins are scarce, and you have to search hard to find them.
• When it snows, snowmen become scarce because everyone wants to build one right away.
