What does BRIGHT mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Giving out or reflecting a lot of light; also clever, cheerful or vividly coloured.
The core sense is physical: a bright lamp, a bright morning and a bright window all send light at the eye. From there the word extends to colour, as in bright red, and to people, so that a bright child is quick to learn and a bright smile is lively and warm. A bright future is one that promises success, and a bright sound is clear and high.
