What does HYPER mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Overexcited, overactive, or unusually full of nervous energy.
Hyper is a shortened, informal form of hyperactive, and English speakers use it to describe someone, often a child, who cannot sit still or calm down. It can describe a temporary state, such as excitement before a trip, or a more lasting trait of temperament. The word also works loosely as a noun for an excitable person. Because it began as an abbreviation of a longer clinical word, hyper still carries a casual, conversational tone rather than a medical one.

Common in everyday speech and writing, especially about children; too informal for clinical or formal medical description.
