What does MURAL mean in Scrabble?
noun
A large picture or design painted directly onto a wall or ceiling.
A mural is created straight on a wall rather than on a canvas that could be moved, which lets it fill or shape an entire room, building or public space. Murals range from ancient religious paintings inside temples and tombs to modern street art covering the sides of city buildings. Because they are fixed to the surface, murals often reflect the history or character of the specific place where they were painted.

Common word for wall-based artwork, from historic frescoes to contemporary street murals; also used as an adjective, as in mural painting.
