What does FALSE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Not true, correct, or genuine; not agreeing with the facts.
False describes a statement, belief, or appearance that does not match reality, whether by mistake or by intent. It can mark statements that misrepresent facts, such as a false accusation, or objects that only imitate something real, such as false teeth or a false wall built to hide a gap. The opposite of false is true or genuine, and in logic and computing the word marks one of the two basic truth values.
How FALSE is used
Common in everyday speech and writing, and also a fixed technical term in logic, mathematics and computer programming, where a statement is simply true or false.
