What does HAMMER mean in Scrabble?
noun
A hand tool with a heavy head on a handle, used for driving nails and striking things.
The hammer is among the oldest tools, and the name is also given to parts of other things that strike: the padded piece in a piano that hits the string, the part of a gun that hits the cap, and the small bone of the ear. It is used as a verb too, meaning to beat something again and again, and figuratively to press a point home. Sport has its own hammer, a heavy ball on a wire that athletes whirl and throw.
