What does GROVY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
rare
Full of groves; characterized by clusters of small trees or woodland.
A grovy landscape is one broken up by numerous small groups of trees rather than open field or a single dense forest. The word grovy is rarely used outside older descriptive writing and specialist word lists, surviving mainly as an entry among unusual adjectives. Describing a piece of land as grovy suggests a scattered, gentle woodiness rather than dense forest cover.
