What does GNARR mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaicdialect
To growl or snarl, as a dog does when angry or threatened.
A dog that gnarrs bares its teeth and makes a low, threatening sound rather than barking outright, and the word is close in meaning to snarl or growl. It is an old and now rare variant spelling, related to the more familiar word gnar, and it survives mostly in older or dialect writing rather than modern standard English. Because it describes an animal sound directly, gnarr is almost never used for human speech except in a deliberately old-fashioned or descriptive way.
How GNARR is used
Rare and largely archaic or dialectal; modern writing almost always uses growl or snarl instead.
