What does CURVY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Having a shape marked by noticeable curves rather than straight lines or sharp angles.
A curvy road twists repeatedly through hills or mountains, demanding more attention from a driver than a straight highway. The word is also used informally to describe a person, most often a woman, whose figure has pronounced curves rather than a straight or angular outline. Designers use curvy in describing furniture, cars and buildings whose outlines favor rounded forms over hard edges. In every sense, curvy points to the same basic idea, a shape built from bends rather than flat lines.
