What does REIGN mean in Scrabble?
noun
The period during which a monarch rules, or the exercise of sovereign power and authority over a kingdom.
Historians mark the years between a monarch's coronation and death or abdication as this stretch of time, using it to organise entire chapters of a country's past, as in during the reign of Elizabeth I. The same word extends beyond royal courts, describing any period when a person, idea or team holds dominant control, such as a champion's reign in a sport or a tyrant's reign of terror. As a verb, to reign means simply to hold and exercise that kind of supreme authority.
