What does GUIDE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person who leads, directs, or advises others, especially someone employed to show visitors around a place or help them find their way.
A guide draws on local knowledge or expertise to lead others safely and efficiently, whether that means a mountain guide choosing a safe route, a museum guide explaining exhibits, or a more general adviser who helps someone make decisions. The same word names a book or document that provides instruction or information, such as a travel guide or a style guide. As a verb, to guide simply means to show or direct the way, a sense closely tied to the noun.
