What does WOOLEN mean in Scrabble?
adjective
North American
Made of wool, or having to do with wool and the cloth woven from it.
Woolen is the usual American spelling, while British writers prefer woollen with a doubled l. It describes sweaters, blankets, socks and mills, and as a noun it can name the cloth or the garments themselves, often in the plural. The material keeps its heat even when damp, which is why woolen clothing has been worn in cold climates for centuries.
