What does BEFOG mean in Scrabble?
verb

Befog can describe literal fog settling over a landscape, but it is used far more often in a figurative sense, when jargon, emotion or too many details befog an argument and make it hard to follow. Writers reach for befog when they want to suggest that clarity has been lost gradually, the way a view disappears as fog thickens.
