60%, but mainly guesswork.

I'd argue with one of the definitions, "mizzle", as that was also
common in Northamptonshire.

When I was a child, I made up the word from "mist" and "drizzle" not
realising that I'd been beaten to it ages before. Found out many years
later that the word originates on the near continent, for instance Low
German "miseln".
