What does MILAGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
An alternative spelling of mileage, the distance travelled measured in miles, or the allowance paid for such travel.
The spelling without the middle e is accepted in word games and appears in older or informal writing. Like the usual form, it can describe how far a car has gone, how far a vehicle can travel on a unit of fuel, or the money a worker receives for travelling on business. Figuratively, people speak of getting good milage out of an idea when they mean useful benefit.
