What does RANGY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Tall and slender with noticeably long limbs; also, able to travel or roam over a wide area.
A rangy build usually suggests height combined with a lean, loose-limbed look, the sort of physique often admired in basketball players or long-distance runners. The word can also describe animals bred to cover large distances, such as cattle suited to open grazing land rather than confined pens. Both senses share the underlying idea of range, whether that means the reach of a person's limbs or the distance an animal can travel.
