What does MEETING mean?

MEETING means the act of people or things coming together, a gathering for a purpose, the people at that gathering, or an encounter. That range makes it a flexible noun: “the meeting started” names the event, while “the meeting agreed” points to the people assembled.

Its Scrabble value comes from M at 3 points, G at 2, and five tiles worth 1 each, for 10 altogether. A seven-letter play uses every tile in a standard rack, so it earns the 50-point bingo bonus as well as any score from the board.

MEETING meaning for wordplay

TEEMING is the sole anagram, and it makes a different familiar word from the same seven letters. For rhyme clues, BEING, GOING, and THING are three of the twelve matches; the shared “-ing” ending is the quick pattern to notice.

MELTING is the clearest one-letter neighbour: replace the second E with L and keep the other six letters in place. The other four neighbours are WEETING, YEETING, BEETING, and MEERING, all much less familiar than MELTING. The five neighbours are word-game forms, not interchangeable substitutes in ordinary prose, so check your game's word list before playing one.
