What does FALCON mean in Scrabble?
noun
A bird of prey with long pointed wings and a notched beak, able to dive at great speed.
Falcons belong to the genus Falco, and the peregrine is the best known, said to be the fastest animal in a dive. For centuries the birds have been trained for falconry, in which a hunter sends one after game and calls it back to the glove. In the strictest use a falcon is the female of the species, since she is larger than her mate. The word also named an old light cannon.
