What does WYTHE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A continuous vertical section of masonry, one unit thick, within a wall built from more than one layer of brick or block.
A wythe is the term masons use for each separate thickness of brick or block that makes up a wall, so a wall built two units thick has an inner and an outer wythe. Builders sometimes tie separate wythes together with metal strips or bonding courses to keep the layers acting as a single structure. The word appears mainly in construction and architecture rather than everyday speech.
