What does BOCCI mean in Scrabble?
noun
An Italian lawn bowling game in which players roll balls toward a smaller target ball, also spelled bocce or boccia.
Bocci names an old Italian game played on a long, narrow court, where each side rolls heavy balls trying to land closest to a small target ball called the jack. The spelling came into English through Italian immigrant communities, and word lists keep bocci alongside the more familiar spellings bocce and boccia. Modern rounds are often played casually on grass or gravel at parks and family gatherings, though clubs also run it as a competitive sport with fixed rules. Dictionaries keep bocci in circulation even though most players today write bocce instead.
