What does RIGHT mean in Scrabble?
adjective
In accordance with what is correct, true, just, or morally acceptable.
Right covers a wide range of everyday judgments, from a right answer on a test to a right decision in a difficult situation. The word also marks direction, as when someone turns right instead of left, and it names an entitlement, as in the right to vote. Because right carries so many related senses, context alone usually tells a listener which one is meant. Its opposite, wrong, mirrors nearly all of the same senses in reverse.
