What does STILT mean in Scrabble?
noun
One of a pair of long poles, usually fitted with raised footrests, used for walking well above the ground.
Performers on stilts appear far taller than normal, a trick long used in circuses, parades and street theatre to draw the eye of a crowd. Builders in flood-prone or coastal areas raise houses on stilts so that rising water passes harmlessly beneath the living space. Children sometimes make simple homemade stilts from tin cans and string as a playground game. The same word also names a wading bird, the stilt, known for its extremely long thin legs that resemble the walking poles.
