What does MISCUE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A mistake or slip, originally a faulty stroke in billiards where the cue slides off the ball.
In snooker and billiards a miscue happens when the tip of the cue skids instead of hitting the cue ball cleanly, so the shot goes wrong. From that came the wider sense of any small error, such as a mistimed move in sport or a blunder in a plan. Teachers of reading also use it for a word read wrongly because the reader guessed from context. It works as a verb as well.
