What does LEAGUE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A group of people, teams, or nations formally joined together for a shared purpose, such as competition, defense, or mutual support.
A sports league organizes teams into a shared schedule of matches so their results can be compared over a season, while a league of nations or states joins separate powers for mutual protection or common goals. Long before either sense became common, league also named an old unit of distance, roughly three miles, used by travelers who reckoned journeys in leagues rather than miles. All three uses share the underlying idea of things joined or measured together as one body.
How LEAGUE is used
