What does DIARY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A book or digital record in which a person writes personal notes, thoughts, or events, usually on a daily basis.
A diary is normally private, written for the author rather than for an audience, and entries are typically arranged by date so that a reader can trace events over time. The word also names printed planners divided by day that people use to record appointments rather than personal reflection. Diaries have long served historians as first-hand accounts of everyday life, wars, and public events written by people who lived through them.
