What does WIDTH mean in Scrabble?
noun
The measurement or extent of something from side to side, at right angles to its length.
Width tells you how far something stretches from one side to the other, complementing length, which measures the longer dimension, and height, which measures how tall something stands. Builders, tailors and designers rely constantly on precise width measurements, since a door, a garment or a road that is even slightly too narrow or too wide fails its purpose. The word also appears in fixed technical phrases such as bandwidth in electronics, built from the same underlying idea of a measured span. Beyond physical objects, width can describe the range or breadth of something more abstract, as in the width of someone's knowledge.
