What does LICHI mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small round tropical fruit with a rough reddish shell, sweet white flesh, and a single large seed, more often spelled litchi or lychee.
A lichi grows on an evergreen tree native to southern China, hanging in loose clusters that turn from green to a bumpy red or pink as the fruit ripens. Peeling back the brittle outer shell reveals translucent, fragrant flesh prized for its sweet, slightly floral flavor, eaten fresh, canned in syrup, or dried like a raisin. English writing uses several spellings for the same fruit, including litchi and lychee, and lichi is simply one accepted variant among them.
