What does DULLY mean in Scrabble?
adverb
In a dull manner; without brightness, sharpness, or liveliness.
Dully most often describes a sound, a light, or a feeling that lacks force, such as a bell that rings dully or eyes that stare dully ahead. It can also describe a person acting or speaking without energy or wit, as though bored or tired. Dully is formed regularly from the adjective dull, but it keeps its own entry because it carries a distinct shade of flatness that the adjective alone does not always convey.
