wide ruled

Spaced paper format

Wide ruled describes notebook paper with lines spaced farther apart than standard ruled paper—typically 11/32 of an inch between lines.

The wider spacing accommodates larger handwriting and is standard in elementary schools: The teacher requested wide ruled notebooks for third-graders.

Also called wide-ruled or legal ruled.
