What does CHALET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A wooden house with a steep roof and broad overhanging eaves, in the style of Alpine herdsmen's huts.
The word chalet first meant a mountain hut where Swiss herdsmen lived through the summer pastures. The broad eaves shed heavy snow and shelter the wooden balconies that run along the front. Today a chalet is as likely to be a ski-resort lodging or a holiday cabin at a seaside park as a farm building. Architects borrowed the style for villas across Europe in the nineteenth century.
