What does UNUSED mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Not put to use, not employed for any purpose, or never having been used at all.
Something unused still exists in its original condition, whether it is a tool nobody has picked up, land nobody has built on, or a ticket nobody has spent. The word can also describe a person who is unused to a situation, meaning simply unfamiliar with it rather than untouched. Either way, unused points to the absence of any activity or experience up to now.
