What does ASSIGN mean in Scrabble?
verb
To give a particular task, duty, place or resource to a person or thing, especially as part of an official plan or system.
To assign something is to designate it formally for a specific purpose or recipient, as when a teacher assigns homework or a manager assigns a project to a team member. The word also covers giving someone a place or role within a larger arrangement, such as assigning seats on a plane or assigning a value inside a computer program. In law, to assign can mean to transfer a right or a piece of property formally to another person. Across these uses, assign always implies a deliberate act of allocation rather than something happening by chance.
