What does VIEWY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Britishinformal
Given to fanciful, speculative or unconventional opinions rather than accepted fact.
Viewy describes a person, plan or piece of writing that leans toward imaginative or idiosyncratic opinions rather than solid, tested judgment. The word was common in nineteenth-century British writing as a mildly critical label for someone whose ideas seemed clever but impractical. It differs from visionary, which can be complimentary, because viewy usually carries a hint that the opinions are unreliable or too personal. A viewy scheme or a viewy critic is one whose confidence in an idea outruns the evidence behind it.
