What does UNKIND mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Lacking in warmth or consideration for other people, and likely to hurt them.
People use unkind for remarks, acts and judgements that sting without necessarily being cruel, which makes it milder than words such as brutal or savage. It can also describe things that are hard on a person or object, as when a harsh climate is unkind to the skin. The older sense of lacking natural feeling, as in unkind to one's own kin, comes from the same root as the word kin.
