What does MOLAR mean in Scrabble?
noun
One of the broad, flat teeth set at the back of the jaw, used for crushing and grinding food.
A typical adult human has twelve molars, arranged in groups of three at the back of the upper and lower jaws, and these teeth carry most of the work of chewing tough or fibrous food. Sitting so far back, a molar is also the tooth most likely to decay unnoticed until it starts to ache. Other mammals rely on molars shaped for their own diet, from the wide grinding surfaces of a horse to the sharper ridges found in carnivores.
