What does RUTTY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Marked or scarred by ruts; full of the deep grooves that wheels or repeated use wear into soft ground or a road.
A rutty track has been carved by cartwheels, tractors, or heavy rain until driving or walking across it becomes uneven and jarring. Farm lanes, forest roads, and old country tracks are described as rutty far more often than paved streets, since ruts form most easily in soft or unpaved surfaces. Some older dictionaries also list a separate, unrelated sense of rutty tied to an animal's mating season, but the ordinary everyday meaning concerns rough, groove-marked ground.
