What does DOTTED mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Marked or covered with small round spots, or scattered about as though with dots.
Dotted describes anything patterned with small round marks, from a dotted fabric print to a dotted line drawn to show where a signature belongs. It also stretches to cover things scattered loosely across a space, so a hillside can be dotted with sheep just as a page can be dotted with ink marks. The word functions as an ordinary adjective in its own right, well beyond just being the past form of the verb dot.
How DOTTED is used
Common everyday adjective; used both for a literal pattern of dots and for things scattered loosely over an area.
