What does BUNJE mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A variant spelling of bungee, the strong elastic rope used for jumping from a height or for securing loads.
A bunje cord stretches under tension and then snaps back, which is exactly why it works for both jumping stunts and strapping luggage to a roof rack. The spelling bunje appears occasionally as an accepted alternative where bungee is the more common form. Word game lists keep bunje as a separate entry even though it names the same rope.
