What does HILLY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Having many hills, or characterized by an uneven, rolling landscape.
A hilly region rises and falls repeatedly rather than lying flat, which makes activities like cycling or farming noticeably harder than on level ground. Travel writers often use hilly to contrast one landscape against a flatter neighboring region. Because the sense is purely about shape, hilly carries no judgment about beauty or difficulty beyond what the terrain itself implies.
