What does UNRULY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Hard to control or keep in order, and not willing to follow rules or authority.
Teachers talk about an unruly class, barbers about unruly hair, and reporters about an unruly crowd, so the word works for people, animals and even things that refuse to stay tidy. It carries a sense of mischief or rowdiness rather than real malice. The root is an old word for rule, and the adjective has been in the language for many centuries.
