What does INLAND mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Situated in, or relating to, the interior of a country or region, away from the coast or border.
An inland town or lake lies away from the sea, and the word is used to mark that contrast whenever geography, trade, or travel depends on distance from the coast. Inland areas often have a different climate from coastal ones, since they lack the moderating effect of the sea, and inland trade routes historically moved goods overland rather than by ship. The same word also works as an adverb, as in travelling inland, and as a noun for the interior of a country as a whole.
