What does LINKY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Made up of or resembling a series of links, as in a chain.
Linky describes something built from separate links joined one after another, so that the whole looks or behaves like a chain rather than a single solid piece. A cheap bracelet can feel linky if its metal segments swing loosely instead of lying flat, and a fence pattern can look linky when the same shape repeats along its length. The word is an informal extension of link, formed the same way that curvy comes from curve, and it is not a precise technical term in any one field. Because it is informal, linky turns up mostly in casual description rather than formal writing.
How LINKY is used
Informal; used to describe jewellery, chains, fences or patterns that look like a row of joined links.
