What does MYTHY mean in Scrabble?

rareliterary
Resembling or having the character of a myth rather than of established fact.
A mythy story reads more like legend than like a record of real events, blending fact with invention until the two can no longer be separated. Writers apply the word to accounts, figures or places that carry the exaggerated, larger-than-life quality typical of old myths. It is a rare word, used mostly in literary criticism to describe how closely a text resembles myth. Something mythy need not be false outright, only shaped like a legend.
