What does CHARR mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A trout-like freshwater or marine fish of the salmon family, found chiefly in cold northern lakes and rivers; an alternative spelling of char.
Charr belongs to the genus Salvelinus, a close relative of trout and salmon that favors the cold, clear waters of northern lakes, rivers, and coastal seas. Anglers and naturalists use charr and the shorter spelling char interchangeably for the same fish, prized both as a game fish and, in some regions, as food. Arctic charr in particular can live in far northern lakes where few other fish survive, and some populations spend part of their life in the sea before returning to fresh water to spawn.

Mostly seen in angling and natural history writing; the shorter spelling char is at least as common.
