What does GLADE mean in Scrabble?
noun
An open, grassy space within a forest or wood, usually enclosed on all sides by trees.
A glade forms where sunlight reaches the forest floor because the surrounding tree cover thins or opens out, letting grass and low plants grow where taller trees do not. Walkers and animals both use a glade as a natural clearing, and older writing often pictures one as a quiet, sheltered spot away from the density of the woods. The word appears frequently in nature writing and fiction set in forests, from fairy tales to adventure novels.
