What does CRAKE mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A small, secretive marsh bird related to the rail, noted for its harsh, repetitive call.
A crake is a small, shy marshland bird in the rail family, most often heard rather than seen because it stays hidden among reeds and long grass. In Britain, the most familiar crake is the once-common corncrake, whose harsh, repeated call once carried across hay meadows in summer. Because a crake rarely takes flight in the open, birdwatchers usually identify one by its call alone. The name is also used loosely for other small rail-like birds with a similar rasping voice.
