What does GAMEY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Having the strong flavor or smell characteristic of game meat, or, informally, slightly risqué or disreputable.
Meat described as gamey carries the pronounced, sometimes gristly taste of wild animals such as venison or pheasant rather than the milder flavor of farmed meat. The same word, spelled gamy in some dictionaries, extends informally to stories or jokes that are a little racy or scandalous. Both senses share the idea of something stronger and less tame than the ordinary.

The culinary sense is neutral and common in cooking writing; the "racy" sense is informal and dated in tone.
