What does ENTRY mean in Scrabble?
noun
The act of entering a place, an item recorded in a list, journal, or reference work, or a passage, door, or gate through which one enters.
An entry can refer to something physical, like the entry to a building or the entry hall just inside the front door, or to something recorded, like a diary entry or a dictionary entry describing a single word. In business and competitions, entry also names each person, team, or item submitted for consideration, as in a contest entry or a race with fifty entries. Because the word covers both the act of going in and the record or item that results, context usually makes clear which sense is meant.
How ENTRY is used
Very common in everyday speech, used for physical doorways, written records, and items submitted to a list or competition.
