What does FACEUP mean in Scrabble?
adverb
With the front or upper surface turned upward.
Cards on a table, a coin on a counter and a patient on a bed can all be placed faceup, meaning that the side meant to be seen is the one showing. The opposite arrangement is called facedown, and the pair is common in card games where some cards are dealt open and others hidden. The word is often written as two words, face up, but it is also accepted as a single word in word games.
