What does STULL mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A short upright post or timber used to support the roof or walls of a passage in a mine, or as a platform across a mine shaft.
A stull is a piece of mining timber wedged between the walls of a shaft or tunnel to hold back loose rock or to carry a working platform. Miners set rows of stulls across a stope to create a floor on which ore could be piled or on which workers could stand while extracting rock above. The word belongs to the specialised vocabulary of underground mining and rarely appears outside technical or historical accounts of the trade. Older mines relied heavily on timber stulls before steel and concrete supports became standard.
