What is the STRONG meaning?

STRONG means possessing power or strength. It can describe a person capable of producing great physical force, or an object able to withstand that force. The word also has a collective noun sense for strong people.

The word covers both sides of force: producing it and resisting it. That distinction matters when you read a sentence about a strong person versus a strong structure. STRONG is also common in everyday English, so its meaning is usually clear from context rather than dependent on a specialist definition.

How does STRONG score, and what resembles it?

STRONG scores 7 Scrabble points before any board bonuses. Five letters—S, T, R, O, and N—are worth 1 point apiece, while G adds 2. The modest total comes from its all-common tiles; the G is the only letter that lifts the score above the word’s length.

No anagrams use the same six letters, but six one-letter neighbors are recorded. STRING and STRUNG are the most recognizable; STRANG, SARONG, SPRONG, and STROND complete the set, though the last three are less familiar and may not be accepted in your game. STRONG ranks 584th in English word frequency, so recognising it is never the problem; the odd neighbours are the ones to double-check.
