Words in daughters spelling list

Hello all,
I found you while looking up words online.
I have a question for you if i may be so bold?
My daughter has, amongst others, two words in her spellings list that i can't find in the dictionary. I've not heard of them and i realise that that doesn't mean that they don't exsist.
The words are : windily and windiness.
Are they actual words or just a variation on windy?
Hope someone can help please
Regards
EG

'Windily' is the adverb to the adjective 'windy', while 'windiness' is its noun form. When such regularly formed but less common word forms are available, they are not always listed separately in the dictionary, though you may find them under the 'main' word, as here:
