What does LIGHT mean in Scrabble?
noun
The natural energy that makes things visible, given off by the sun, fire, or a lamp.
Light travels in waves and lets the eye detect shape, colour, and distance; without it, sight is impossible. People also use light figuratively for understanding, as when a new fact throws light on an old mystery. Beyond physics, the word covers physical light sources too, from a candle flame to an electric light left burning at night.
