What does CRAMBO mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaic
A word game in which one player names a word and the others take turns finding rhymes for it.
Crambo was a popular parlour pastime in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when it was played at the dinner table or on long coach journeys. A player who ran out of rhymes dropped out, and the last one left won. The name is thought to come from an old Latin phrase for cabbage, in the same way as crambe, though the link to the game is uncertain.
