Alright, so "diddle" is a word that can mean a few different things, but I'm going to explain it to you in a way that's easy to understand. When we talk about "diddle," we're usually talking about doing something in a playful or not very serious way.

For example, if you're twiddling your thumbs while you're waiting in line, you're diddling. Or if you're messing around and not really doing anything important, you could say that you're diddling around. Another way we use the word "diddle" is to mean that someone is cheating or scamming someone else. Like if someone was playing a game and they were cheating to win, you could say they were diddling.

So, basically, "diddle" can mean doing something playful or not serious, or it can mean cheating or scamming someone. It's a word that has a kind of lighthearted feel to it, but it can also have a negative connotation depending on the context.

I hope that makes sense! Let me know if you have any other questions about this word.
