What does GREEDY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Wanting far more of something, such as food, money or power, than one needs or deserves.
Greedy can describe an appetite, as when a greedy child piles a plate too high, or a grasping attitude toward wealth, as in a greedy landlord. The word is stronger than hungry or eager because it carries blame: the greedy person takes without thinking of others. It also turns up in computing, where a greedy algorithm grabs the best immediate choice at each step without looking ahead.
