What does CHALK mean in Scrabble?
noun
A soft white or greyish limestone made largely from the remains of tiny sea creatures, often cut into sticks for writing or drawing.
Chalk forms over millions of years from the compacted shells of microscopic marine organisms, which is why the white cliffs of southern England and northern France are made of it. Ground and shaped into sticks, chalk has long been used for writing on blackboards, marking cloth, and lining sports pitches. Because it is soft and crumbles easily, chalk leaves a visible mark without needing ink or paint.
