What does UNLED mean in Scrabble?

literary
Not led; without a leader or guide.
Unled attaches the negative prefix un- to the past participle led, so it describes a group, cause, or life that lacks direction from a leader or guide. Writers reach for unled when they want to stress the absence of leadership itself, rather than simply saying a group failed or wandered. The word is rare enough that most readers meet it only in literary or historical description of leaderless armies, movements, or lives.
