What does PORCH mean in Scrabble?
noun
A covered structure attached to the entrance of a building, often with a roof and sometimes open sides.
A porch typically shelters a doorway from rain and sun and gives visitors somewhere to stand while waiting to be let in. In North America the word often refers to a larger structure along the front or back of a house, sometimes furnished with chairs for sitting outside, while in Britain a porch is usually smaller and closer to the door itself. Either way, the porch sits between the outdoors and the interior of the house.
