What does MUSPIKES mean in Scrabble?
noun
Hybrids of muskellunge and northern pike found in North America, in the plural.
The name is a blend of the two parent fish, and so is the animal: muspikes occur naturally where the ranges of muskellunge and northern pike overlap. They grow fast, take a lure readily and are usually sterile, so each one is a single accident rather than a population.
