What does TUFFET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A low seat or footstool, or a small grassy mound or tuft that can be sat upon.
Most English speakers know the tuffet only from the nursery rhyme about Little Miss Muffet, who sat on one eating her curds and whey. Because the rhyme never explains it, people picture anything from a cushion to a clump of grass, and the dictionary allows both. Outside the rhyme the word is rare and has a faintly old-fashioned, cosy flavour.
How TUFFET is used
