What does GLORY mean in Scrabble?
noun
High honor, fame, or admiration won through notable achievement, or great beauty and splendor.
Glory is what a soldier, an athlete, or an artist earns through an achievement that others openly admire, and the word carries a sense of public recognition rather than quiet satisfaction. It also describes overwhelming beauty or splendor, as when a sunset or a cathedral is said to be full of glory. As a verb, to glory in something means to take open, sometimes boastful pride in it, so a team might glory in a hard-won victory.
