What does PHONE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A device used to speak with someone at a distance by carrying the sound of the voice electronically; short for telephone.
Phone is the everyday short form of telephone, used for both the fixed devices once found in homes and offices and the mobile phones people now carry everywhere. As a verb, to phone someone means simply to call them using such a device. The word has become so standard that telephone itself now sounds slightly formal by comparison, and phone appears freely in compounds such as phone call, phone number and phone book. Its meaning has broadened over the decades from a device purely for voice calls to one used for messaging, photos and countless other tasks.
