What does ASWIRL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Moving in a whirling, spinning way.
Like aflame and atremble, the form follows a verb or stands after the noun it describes, never before it. Writers reach for it when leaves, snow, skirts or thoughts are going round in circles all at once, and it gives a sense of busy, pleasing motion. Dull or heavy movement would not be called aswirl.
