What does CASE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A case is a particular instance or example of something, or a container made to hold and protect an object.
Case has two closely used but distinct senses in everyday English. It can describe one occurrence among many, as in a case of illness or a case being studied by police or lawyers, focusing on the facts of that single instance. It can also mean a box, sleeve or covering shaped to fit and protect something, such as a phone case or a suitcase. Both senses share the idea of something being set apart and examined or enclosed.
