What does BLOT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A spot or stain, especially of spilled ink, left on a surface.
A blot forms when liquid such as ink spreads and soaks into paper or cloth, leaving an irregular dark mark that is often difficult to remove, and the same word is used more widely for any disfiguring mark on a surface or, figuratively, for a shameful incident that spoils someone's reputation. As a verb, to blot means either to make such a mark or, confusingly, to soak up excess liquid with absorbent paper.
