What does CARR mean in Scrabble?
noun
regionalBritish
A carr is a patch of wet, boggy woodland or marshland, typically overgrown with alder or willow trees.
A carr forms where standing water and waterlogged ground allow only certain trees, chiefly alder and willow, to take root, creating a damp, scrubby type of woodland found in fens and low-lying river valleys. The word is common in British place names and in descriptions of wetland habitats important for birds and insects. Unlike a simple marsh, a carr already has trees and shrubs growing through the wet ground.
