What does LOOKUP mean in Scrabble?
noun
The act of searching for a piece of information in a list, table or database.
In everyday use a lookup is a quick check, such as finding a word in a dictionary or a number in a directory. In computing the word is far more precise: a lookup retrieves a stored value by matching a key, and a lookup table is a ready-made list of answers that saves repeating a calculation. Because it is made from the phrasal verb look up, the noun is usually written as one word.
