What does NIX mean in Scrabble?
verb

To reject or cancel something.
Nix came into American English from German, where it is a colloquial form of the word for nothing, and it kept that flatness: to nix a plan is to end it without discussion. The noun sense meaning nothing at all is older and now much rarer than the verb.
