What does RANGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
The distance or extent between the lowest and highest points of something, or, depending on context, a line of mountains, a cooking stove, or a place for practising shooting.
A single word covers a surprising number of everyday scenes: hikers admire a range of snow-capped peaks, a cook simmers a stew on a kitchen range, and soldiers or hunters sharpen their aim at a shooting range. Scientists and statisticians use the same word for the spread between the smallest and largest values in a set of numbers, so a classroom test score and a mountain chain share one label. The common thread running through every sense is a bounded stretch, whether it runs across land, across numbers, or across a piece of equipment.
How RANGE is used
Context determines the meaning: geography, cooking, marksmanship and statistics all use the same word differently.
- The mountain range stretched along the horizon.
- She cooked dinner on a large gas range.
- Soldiers practised on the firing range every week.
- Prices in the shop range from cheap to expensive.
- The temperature ranged widely throughout the day.
