What does MELON mean in Scrabble?
noun
A large, round or oval fruit with a hard rind and sweet, juicy flesh, such as a watermelon or cantaloupe.
Melons grow on trailing vines and belong to the same family as cucumbers and squashes, though their fruit is generally far sweeter and larger. Different varieties of melon vary widely in flesh color, sweetness, and rind texture, from the orange flesh of a cantaloupe to the pale green flesh of a honeydew. The fruit is typically eaten fresh, chilled, and cut into slices or cubes rather than cooked.
