What does ROCKY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Covered with, consisting of, or full of rocks; also, unstable, difficult, or full of problems.
A rocky hillside or shoreline is one where bare stone dominates the landscape, making the ground uneven and hard to walk or build on. The same word extends easily to anything unsteady or troubled, so a rocky marriage, a rocky start, or a rocky economy all describe instability or difficulty rather than literal stone. Sailors historically used rocky to warn of dangerous coastlines where a ship could run aground on hidden rock. Both the literal and figurative senses remain equally common in everyday English.
How ROCKY is used
Common in both literal descriptions of terrain and figurative descriptions of instability or difficulty.
- The hikers picked their way carefully across the rocky slope.

- The new business had a rocky start before finding steady customers.
