What does LINEUP mean in Scrabble?
noun
An orderly arrangement of people or things assembled for inspection, selection, or a particular purpose.
A lineup can be a row of suspects presented to a witness for identification, a list of players chosen to start a game, or simply the schedule of acts booked for an event. The word points to the deliberate ordering behind whoever or whatever appears, not to a random group. Sports commentators, police procedurals and festival posters all use lineup for slightly different rows, yet each time the sense is the same: who or what has been placed in position and in what order.
