What does ENTER mean in Scrabble?
verb
To come or go into a place, situation or state.
Enter is one of the most basic verbs describing movement into somewhere, whether a room, a building, a country, or a more abstract state such as a conversation or a period of life. Beyond physical movement, the word covers joining a competition or event, as in enter a race or enter a contest, or formally beginning a profession, as in enter the army or enter politics. In computing, the word describes typing information into a system, such as enter a password or enter data into a form. The specific meaning always depends on what follows the verb, but the underlying idea of crossing into something new stays constant.
