What does DRAMA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A play written for theatre, television, radio or film, or the broader branch of literature made up of such works.
A drama tells a story through the words and actions of characters rather than through a narrator, and it is built for performance rather than for silent reading. The term covers everything from a single stage play to the whole genre of serious, non-comic works, as opposed to comedy. Beyond the theatre, drama also names any real situation full of tension, conflict or strong emotion, which is why the word slides easily from the stage into everyday talk.

Common in everyday and literary use, both for a specific work and, informally, for real-life conflict or excitement.
