What does CANOE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A narrow, lightweight boat pointed at both ends, usually propelled by one or more paddlers kneeling or sitting facing forward.
Traditional canoes were carved from a single log or built from bark stretched over a wooden frame, while most modern canoes are made instead of aluminum, fiberglass, or plastic. Unlike a kayak, a canoe is typically open on top and paddled with a single-bladed paddle, making it well suited for calm lakes, rivers, and portage over land between waterways.
