What does LINE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A long, thin mark or stroke drawn or appearing on a surface.
A line is the simplest kind of mark, a continuous stroke connecting two points, whether drawn with a pencil, painted on a road, or formed naturally as a crease or edge. From this basic sense English builds many extended uses, such as a line of people waiting or a line of text, but the core idea of line remains a long, narrow mark or path.
