What does PALET mean in Scrabble?
noun
heraldry
A narrow vertical stripe on a heraldic shield, similar to but narrower than a pale.
Heralds classify the vertical bands crossing a shield by width, and a palet is simply a slimmer version of the broader pale, often appearing in pairs or groups rather than alone. A shield charged with several palets side by side is described as paly, a related heraldic term for the whole striped pattern. In older botanical writing the same spelling, palet, was also used for palea, the small bract found in a grass floret.
