What does AITCH mean in Scrabble?
noun
The name of the letter H.
Aitch is simply how English speakers say the name of the letter H aloud, the way bee names B or cee names C. The word is best known through the phrase dropping your aitches, a long-noted feature of certain British accents in which the h sound at the start of words is left out. Because aitch itself begins with a vowel sound rather than an h, it is a small irony that gives the word its lasting fame. Spelling and pronunciation guides still use aitch as the standard name for the letter in dictionaries and alphabets read aloud.
