What does PRANK mean in Scrabble?
noun
A mischievous trick played on someone, usually for fun rather than harm.
A prank aims at laughter rather than damage, whether it is a whoopee cushion under a chair or an elaborate hoax planned for weeks. Students and workmates often save their best pranks for April Fools Day or the last day before a holiday. The word also has an older, now rarer, use as a verb meaning to dress or decorate showily, a sense that survives chiefly in the related word prink.
