What does FUDGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A soft, sweet confection made from sugar, butter and milk, or, as a verb, to alter or fake facts dishonestly.
Fudge began as the name of a soft, creamy sweet made by boiling sugar, butter and milk together until it sets into a dense, chewy block, popular cut into small squares. From that sense of something soft and adjustable, the word also came to mean bending the truth, so a student who fudges the numbers on a report has quietly altered them to look better than they are. Politicians are often accused of fudging an issue when they give a deliberately vague answer instead of a straight one.
How FUDGE is used
The candy sense is everyday and neutral; the verb sense, meaning to fake or evade, is informal and often mildly disapproving.
