What does UNLIT mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Not lit; without light or not set on fire.
Unlit describes both places without illumination, such as a dark unlit street, and objects that have not been set burning, such as an unlit candle or cigarette. Writers often use the word to build a mood of danger or mystery, since an unlit room or alley suggests something hidden or unseen. In a more practical sense, safety guides warn against leaving gas appliances unlit but still open, since unburned gas can build up unnoticed. The word simply negates lit, but it carries a slightly ominous tone in fiction that a plain phrase like without light rarely does.
How UNLIT is used
Common in both everyday description of darkness and in narrative writing to suggest tension or danger.
- They crept down the unlit corridor with only a phone for light.
