What does OUTADD mean in Scrabble?
verb
To exceed or surpass another person in adding numbers or amounts.
Outadd follows the same out- pattern as outact and outman, taking an ordinary verb and turning it into a contest of who does it better or faster. A quick-witted clerk might outadd a colleague by totalling a column of figures before the other has finished checking the first few lines. The word is rare enough that most dictionaries list it mainly as a valid word-game entry rather than a term found in everyday writing. Even so, its meaning is transparent from its parts: to add at a rate or with an accuracy that beats someone else's.
