What does HULLO mean in Scrabble?
interjection
Britishinformal
A greeting used on meeting someone or answering the telephone, an older British spelling of hello.
Hullo was the more common spelling in Britain before hello became standard, and it still turns up in older novels, letters and in some speakers habitual greeting. The word can also express mild surprise, much like hello does, when someone notices something unexpected. Its rise is tied to the early telephone, when a clear one-word greeting was needed to open a call, and various spellings such as hallo, hullo and hello competed before hello won out in most English-speaking countries.
