If you are stymied, you are stopped from doing something you want to do, usually because of a problem or difficulty.
Being stymied can make people feel frustrated or stuck.
Examples:
I was stymied by the locked door.
She felt stymied by the hard math problem.
The stymied cat couldn't catch the mouse.
The stymied robot couldn't find its way out of the maze.
I was stymied by the giant wall in my way.
The stymied bird couldn't get the worm.
