What does WEDDING mean?

A wedding is a ceremony or ritual that officially celebrates the beginning of a marriage. That is the everyday sense most readers will recognize, whether the event is a small gathering or a formal ceremony. In a different context, wedding can mean the joining of two or more parts.

The word also works as a verb: to wedding is to participate in a wedding. The spelling stays the same across these uses, so context tells you whether wedding names an event, a joining, or an action. Its familiar meaning makes it easy to recognize, even when the less common senses appear in a word game.

WEDDING Scrabble score and word neighbors

WEDDING scores 13 points before any board bonuses. The tile values add up as W=4, E=1, D=2, D=2, I=1, N=1, and G=2. The W supplies the biggest single share, while the two D tiles together contribute 4 points.

No anagram uses all seven letters, so rearranging the tiles will not make another full-length word. Changing one letter does produce neighbors: WELDING, WEEDING, WADDING, and WEDGING are examples. The listed rhymes share the -ing ending; familiar examples include BEING, GOING, and DOING.
