What does RUNDLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A rung or crosspiece of a ladder, or a similar rotating part such as a wheel.
Rundle is an older name for one of the wooden crosspieces that let a person climb from one level of a ladder to the next, a sense still found in regional speech and in descriptions of old farm and ship equipment. Carpenters and sailors once used the term as commonly as modern speakers use rung, and it lingers today mainly in dialect, in historical writing, and in technical accounts of pulleys, capstans, and other turning machinery. A shipwright restoring an old vessel might still call a worn crosspiece a rundle rather than reach for the newer word.
