What does FORKY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
archaicliterary
Shaped like a fork, having two or more prongs, or opening into separate branches or points.
A forky branch, tongue, or flash of lightning splits into two or more points the way the tines of a fork spread from a single handle. Older writers used the word for anything that visibly forked, including a snake's tongue or a bolt of lightning. Modern English generally prefers forked, so forky now reads as an old-fashioned or literary choice.
