What does LEDGY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
rare
Having or consisting of many ledges, especially describing rocky ground, a hillside, or a coastline broken by layers of rock.
Ledgy ground rises in a series of natural rock shelves rather than a smooth slope, a pattern common where layers of harder and softer rock erode at different rates. Sailors historically used the word for a ledgy coast or ledgy shore where submerged rock shelves lay just beneath the surface, a hazard for any ship passing too close. New England place names and old surveys still preserve the word for hillsides and pastures where bedrock breaks through in low, stepped ridges.
