What does SLAT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A thin, narrow strip of wood, metal or plastic, especially one of several used to make a screen, blind or fence.
Slats are laid or fixed side by side, often with small gaps between them, to build things like Venetian blinds, garden fences, park benches and the base of a bed. Each slat is flat and narrow, and it is the repeated pattern of many slats together that forms the finished screen or surface, rather than any single piece on its own.

Common in furniture, building and gardening contexts.
- Sunlight fell through the slats of the blind.
