What does INCOG mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
An informal short form of incognito, meaning with one's identity hidden or disguised.
Incog trims the longer word incognito down to a single clipped syllable, the same kind of shortening seen in words like info for information or memo for memorandum. It appears mainly in casual writing and speech when someone wants to say they are travelling, working or attending an event without being recognized. Because it reads as a shortened form rather than a fully separate word, incog is generally avoided in careful or formal writing, where incognito remains the expected choice.
