Meaning and pronunciation

Pronunciation: /ʃiːt//ʃit/

Noun

A thin bed cloth used as a covering for a mattress or as a layer over the sleeper.

“Use the sheets in the hall closet to make the bed.”

Noun

A piece of paper, usually rectangular, that has been prepared for writing, artwork, drafting, wrapping, manufacture of packaging (boxes, envelopes, etc.), and for other uses. The word does not include scraps and irregular small pieces destined to be recycled, used for stuffing or cushioning or paper mache, etc. In modern books, each sheet of paper is typically folded in half, to produce two leaves and four pages. In the absence of folding, "leaf" and "sheet" are equivalent.

“A sheet of paper measuring eight and one-half inches wide by eleven inches high is a popular item in commerce.”

Verb

To cover or wrap with cloth, or paper, or other similar material.

“Remember to sheet the floor before you start painting.”

Verb

To form into sheets.

About the project

Add an anonymous result and difficulty rating to the public, aggregate research dataset.

We send only this answer word for puzzle verification, the puzzle number, result, difficulty vote, Hard Mode flag, timezone and a random one-puzzle receipt token. The Observatory stores no answer word, grid, guesses, account, email, IP-derived ID or reusable player identifier. The puzzle-specific receipt prevents duplicate submissions and permits withdrawal; anyone with that token can withdraw, so keep browser-data exports private. See the privacy details.
