lesbian L₁E₁S₁B₃I₁A₁N₁

With seven letters and a nine-point tile total, LESBIAN combines a familiar identity term with a high-value B. It has no anagrams or one-letter neighbours in the word-game comparison, while its -ian ending links it by sound to words such as MEDIAN and MUSICIAN. The meaning is direct; the wordplay details are less obvious.

What does LESBIAN mean?

A lesbian is a woman whose romantic attraction is to women. In ordinary use, lesbian names an identity and can also describe a woman or relationship associated with that identity. The word has noun and adjective uses, so it is not limited to one grammatical role.

That distinction matters if a word-game clue asks for a part of speech: LESBIAN can serve as a noun or adjective. Its seven-letter spelling also places it among 7-letter entries, rather than a shorter word built around the same idea.

How does LESBIAN score in Scrabble?

LESBIAN scores 9 points before board bonuses: L, E, S, I, A, and N each score 1, while B scores 3. The single B supplies the extra tile value, making its placement more important than the other six letters.

Using all seven tiles earns Scrabble’s 50-point bingo bonus, on top of the tile values, when you play the full rack.
