What does MUSKEG mean in Scrabble?
noun
North American
A wet, spongy area of boggy ground, typically in northern Canada and nearby regions.
A muskeg forms where plant matter such as moss builds up in cold, poorly drained land, creating a soft surface that can swallow a careless foot or a heavy vehicle. The word is most at home in accounts of the Canadian north, where road and railway builders have long had to cope with it. Seen from above, a muskeg often looks like a flat, open meadow dotted with stunted spruce.
