What does TRUE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
In accordance with fact, reality, or an accepted standard; not false or invented.
A statement is true when what it says actually matches how things are, and a friend is true when they stay loyal and dependable rather than fickle. The word covers both this everyday sense of factual accuracy and older senses of steadiness and genuineness, so a true copy is an exact one and a true friend a faithful one.
How TRUE is used
Very common in everyday speech and writing, used of statements, aim (true north), and character alike.
- It is true that the museum closes early on Sundays.
- She proved true to her word and finished the project on time.
- The arrow flew straight and true toward the target.
