What does EEK mean in Scrabble?
interjection
informal
A cry of sudden fright or dismay.
Eek belongs to the comic strip rather than to speech: it is what a cartoon character says on seeing a mouse, and people who say it out loud are usually quoting that. The doubled vowel does the work — the more letters, the longer the squeal — which is why eeek and eeeek turn up in print and never in dictionaries.
