What does LITTEN mean in Scrabble?
adjective
archaic
Lighted or illuminated; an old past participle of the verb light.
Litten was once the regular past participle of light, used where modern English now says lit. It survived longest in poetry, hymns, and descriptions of windows or rooms glowing with light, giving a sentence a deliberately old-fashioned or solemn tone. Writers today who reach for litten usually do so for archaic effect rather than in ordinary description.
