What does PULPY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Having the soft, moist, thick texture of pulp.
Fruit that has gone pulpy has lost its firmness and become soft and mushy, often because it is overripe or has been crushed. The word can also describe paper or wood once it has been broken down into a wet, fibrous mass during processing. Beyond texture, pulpy is sometimes used loosely for cheap, sensational fiction, echoing the rough wood-pulp paper on which such stories were once printed.
