What does ORGAN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A part of an animal or plant body that carries out a specific function, such as the heart or liver, or a large keyboard instrument played through pipes or electronic circuits.
Doctors classify an organ like the kidney or lungs by the role it plays in keeping a creature alive, while musicians use the same word for the church or theatre organ, whose ranks of pipes fill a hall with sound. Newspapers and political groups name their official publication an organ too, meaning the voice through which they speak to the public. The word therefore crosses biology, music and journalism without changing its basic idea of something built to serve a purpose.

The word covers three quite different fields at once, so context tells the reader whether organ means a body part, a musical instrument or a publication.
