What does VIVID mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Producing strong, clear images in the mind; brilliant, intense and full of life, especially in color, description or memory.
Vivid describes colors so bright and pure that they seem to stand out sharply against their surroundings, as with a vivid red or a vivid blue sky. The word extends easily to memories, dreams and descriptions that feel unusually clear and detailed, as though the scene were happening again in front of the observer. A vivid imagination produces especially clear and inventive mental pictures, while a vivid account of an event gives the listener a strong sense of having been there. Across all these uses, vivid points to an unusual sharpness or intensity rather than mere presence.
