What does VIOLET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small low plant with sweet-scented purplish-blue flowers, or the bluish-purple colour of those flowers.
Violets grow wild in woods and hedges and bloom in early spring, and some kinds are grown in gardens for their scent. As a colour, violet lies at the short-wavelength end of the visible spectrum, just beyond blue. The same word is also a girl's name, though that sense belongs in a name list rather than a dictionary.
How VIOLET is used
