What does BAFFLE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To confuse someone so completely that they cannot work out an answer.
To baffle a person is to leave them puzzled and unable to find a way through a problem. The verb is gentler than confound and wider than puzzle, since a mystery, a rule or a trick can all baffle. It also has a mechanical sense, to check or regulate the flow of sound, light or liquid, which gives us the noun for a plate that does this.
