What does CRACK mean in Scrabble?
noun
A line on the surface of something where it has split slightly without breaking apart completely.
A crack can appear in a wall, a plate, a sheet of ice or almost any hard surface once stress, age or sudden temperature change causes the material to give way along a thin line. The word also names the sharp sound produced by a sudden break or blow, as when a branch or a whip makes a crack. Because both senses share the idea of a sudden, sharp division, a crack of thunder and a crack in a windowpane are related uses of the same underlying word. Left untreated, a small crack can widen over time and lead to more serious damage.
How CRACK is used
A very common word covering both a physical split in a surface and the sharp sound of a sudden break.
