What does OURS mean in Scrabble?
pronoun
Belonging to or associated with us; the possessive form of we used without a following noun.
When something is ours, ownership belongs to the group being talked about rather than to any one person, as in this house is ours or the choice is ours to make. It stands alone in place of a possessive plus noun, so a speaker says ours instead of repeating our house.
