What does CHUNK mean in Scrabble?
noun
A thick, solid piece or lump of something, or a substantial amount of it.
A chunk is a piece of something that is noticeably thick and solid rather than thin or fine, such as a chunk of bread, cheese, or rock broken roughly from a larger mass. The word also extends to abstract amounts, describing a sizeable portion of time, money, or effort spent on something. As a verb, to chunk something means to break or divide it into pieces of this kind, including grouping information into manageable parts.
