What does BLIND mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Unable to see, whether from birth, injury, or disease, or figuratively unable or unwilling to notice something obvious.
A person who is blind cannot see at all, or can see only very poorly, and may rely on touch, sound, and tools such as a cane or guide dog to move around safely. The same word is used figuratively for someone who is blind to a problem, meaning they fail to notice or refuse to acknowledge something plain to others. Blind can also work as a verb, meaning to take away the sight of a person, and as a noun for a window covering that blocks light.
