What does CLACK mean in Scrabble?
noun
A short, sharp sound like that made by two hard objects striking together.
A clack is a brief, dry, percussive noise, the kind produced when a wooden gate shuts or a pair of hard heels strikes a tiled floor. The word is echoic, meaning it was formed to imitate the sound itself rather than being built from other word parts. Clack can also be used as a verb, so that a loose shutter is said to clack in the wind. The sound is generally sharper and drier than a thud but less metallic than a clang.
How CLACK is used
Used both as a noun for the sound and as a verb for making it, mostly in descriptive or informal writing.
