What does NAUGHT mean in Scrabble?
noun
literary
Nothing at all; also the figure zero, or a complete lack of value or result.
Naught is an old English word that survives mostly in set phrases such as "all for naught" and "come to naught", where it means that effort ended without result. In British usage the same spelling also names the digit zero, though the form nought is more usual there. Today naught sounds deliberately formal or literary, and is often chosen for its solemn ring.
