What does DRAFT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A preliminary, unfinished version of a piece of writing, plan, or document, made before a final version is produced.
Writers revise a draft again and again, adding, cutting, and reordering material until the wording finally matches what they mean to say. The same word branches into several unrelated senses in English, from a military draft that compels people into service to a sports draft that assigns new players to teams, and even a draft as a current of cold air through a room. British writers often spell the air-current sense draught, keeping draft mainly for the writing and finance senses.
