What does REDRY mean in Scrabble?
verb
To dry something again, typically after it has become wet or damp a second time.
Redry describes the simple act of drying something a second time, whether laundry got rained on after coming off the line or a document needs another pass through a dryer after a spill. The word is straightforward and rarely needs explanation, since it combines the familiar prefix re-, meaning again, with the ordinary verb dry. It appears mostly in practical, everyday contexts such as laundry, cooking, or craft work rather than in formal writing.
