What does LEVEL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Having a flat, even surface with no part higher than another; horizontal.
A level surface has no slope or tilt, so an object placed on it will not roll or slide away on its own. The word extends easily to figurative uses, such as a level playing field for a situation that is fair to everyone, or a level head for someone who stays calm under pressure. Level is also widely used as a noun for a stage, rank, or measured height, as in a high level of skill.
