What does MOTTO mean in Scrabble?
noun
A short phrase or sentence expressing a guiding belief, ideal, or rule of conduct.
A family, school, or nation often adopts a motto to sum up what it stands for in a single memorable line, and the phrase may appear printed on a coat of arms, carved over a doorway, or simply repeated as personal advice. Unlike a slogan written to sell something, a motto is meant to state a lasting principle rather than promote a single product or campaign.
