What does HITCH mean in Scrabble?
noun
A minor, temporary problem or delay that interrupts the smooth progress of something.
A hitch is small enough not to stop a plan entirely, but large enough to cause a pause, an adjustment, or a moment of worry. People commonly say a wedding, a journey, or a project went off without a hitch to mean that nothing went wrong at all. The word can also name a knot used to fasten a rope to an object, or the act of fastening a trailer to a vehicle, senses related to the idea of a temporary attachment. In everyday talk, though, hitch usually refers to the small setback rather than the knot or coupling.
