What does ALLOT mean in Scrabble?
verb
To give out or assign a share of something to a particular person or purpose.
To allot something is to divide a limited resource, such as money, time or land, and give a fixed portion of it to each person or task involved. The word suggests a planned, often official distribution rather than a casual sharing, as when a committee allots funding or a teacher allots time for each exam question. Historically the word carried the sense of assigning by lot or chance, though modern use rarely involves any element of luck. Once something has been allotted, that portion is set aside specifically for its intended recipient or purpose.
