What does MALLET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A hammer-like tool with a large head, typically made of wood or rubber, used for striking without damaging the surface.
A mallet spreads the force of a blow over a wider area than a metal hammer, which makes it useful for driving chisels, assembling furniture, or shaping sheet metal without leaving dents. Croquet and polo also use long-handled mallets to strike a ball, a very different design built for reach rather than force. Percussionists likewise use padded mallets to strike drums, xylophones, and other instruments softly.
