What does REDDY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informaldialect
Somewhat red in colour; reddish.
Reddy is an informal, less common variant of reddish, used to describe something that leans toward red without being a full, pure red, such as reddy brown hair or a reddy tint in the evening sky. It behaves exactly like other -y colour words formed from a base colour, such as bluey or greeny, softening the main colour term into a looser, more approximate shade. The word appears mostly in casual speech and regional use rather than in careful or formal writing, where reddish is the standard choice. Despite the similarity in spelling, reddy has nothing to do with the unrelated adjective ready.
