What does INWARD mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Directed or moving toward the inside, or belonging to the mind and feelings rather than to outward show.
As an adjective, inward describes a path or turn that heads into the middle, such as an inward curve, and it also describes private thoughts that nobody else sees, as in inward joy. It can work as an adverb too, so doors may swing inward, though British writers often add an s. Its natural opposite is outward, and the pair together make a common contrast between how a person feels and how a person looks.
