What does LETTER mean in Scrabble?
noun
A written or printed message sent from one person to another, often by post.
A letter can carry personal news, a business request, or a formal complaint, and its length ranges from a few warm lines to many pages depending on the occasion. The same word also names each individual symbol of the alphabet, such as the letter A, a sense old enough that both meanings trace back to the same Latin root. English also keeps the phrase the letter of the law, meaning its exact wording rather than its intended spirit, which shows how far the word has stretched beyond a simple written message. Despite email and texting, people still speak of writing a letter for anything meant to feel more considered or lasting than a quick message.
How LETTER is used
