What does LEADEN mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Dull grey in color, or heavy and sluggish in movement or mood, in a way that suggests the metal lead.
Leaden describes both a literal grey color close to that of the metal lead and a figurative heaviness, as in a leaden sky before a storm or a leaden silence after bad news. The word can also describe motion that feels weighted down and slow, such as leaden footsteps at the end of a long day. Writers often reach for leaden precisely because it carries both a visual and an emotional sense at once.
