What does CHANG mean in Scrabble?
noun
rare
A loud, discordant or ringing noise, especially a harsh clashing sound.
Chang describes a sudden, jarring burst of sound, closer to a clang or a crash than to a musical note, and it survives mainly as an old or dialect word rather than in everyday speech. Older dictionaries list chang alongside similar sound words such as clang and clank, all imitating the noise of hard objects striking together. The word is rare enough today that most readers meet it only in older texts or specialised word lists rather than in ordinary conversation. Despite its rarity, chang keeps a clear and simple meaning centred on abrupt, harsh noise.
