What does EXTRA mean in Scrabble?
adjective
More than what is usual, expected, or necessary; an additional amount or item.
Extra describes something added beyond the standard amount, whether it is extra time given for a task, an extra charge on a bill, or an extra piece of luggage taken on a trip. As a noun, an extra can also mean a background performer in a film, or a special edition of a newspaper printed for major news. The word's flexibility lets it function as an adjective, noun, or informal adverb, as in running extra fast. Because it signals something beyond the baseline, extra is one of the most frequently used words for describing addition or surplus.
