What does LEDGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A narrow horizontal shelf or projection, especially one jutting out from a wall, cliff, or other vertical surface.
A ledge can be as small as a window ledge inside a house or as large as a rocky shelf partway up a cliff face where a climber can pause to rest. Geologists also use the word for an underwater rock shelf near a shoreline or for a layer of ore-bearing rock exposed within a larger mass of stone. In every sense the core idea stays the same: a narrow, mostly flat surface that projects outward from something steeper or more vertical.
