What does SPACE mean in Scrabble?
noun
An empty or available area, extent, or interval, whether physical, such as room to move or the region beyond Earth's atmosphere, or more abstract, such as time or opportunity.
Space can mean the physical room needed to fit something, as when a parking space holds a single car, or the vast region beyond the atmosphere where planets and stars exist, explored by satellites and astronauts. The same word covers gaps between objects or words on a page, stretches of time, and even figurative room for ideas or feelings, as in giving someone space to think. This flexibility makes space one of the most widely used nouns in English, adapting easily to physical, temporal and abstract senses.
How SPACE is used
Extremely common in everyday English, covering physical room, outer space, gaps in text, and figurative freedom or opportunity.
