What does GARRET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small, often cramped room located just under the roof of a house, typically used as an attic or modest living space.
A garret sits directly beneath the sloping roofline of a building, which usually leaves it with low ceilings and awkward corners compared to the floors below. Historically such rooms were the cheapest to rent, so garrets became strongly associated with struggling artists, writers, and students living on very little money. The word still carries that image of a shabby but atmospheric room tucked away at the top of an old house.
