What does CHANCE mean in Scrabble?
noun
The possibility that something will happen, or an opportunity to do or achieve something.
Chance covers three neighbouring ideas: luck that produces events without plan or cause, the likelihood that a thing will occur, and an opening that a person may use. It comes through French from a Latin word for a falling of the dice, which still shows in games of chance. As a verb it means to risk something, and in the phrase by chance it means without design.
