What does PROSE mean in Scrabble?
noun
Written or spoken language in its ordinary form, without the regular rhythm, meter, or line breaks that define poetry.
Prose is the form used for nearly everything outside of verse: novels, letters, newspaper articles, and everyday conversation all count as prose. Unlike poetry, prose follows the natural structure and flow of ordinary sentences rather than a fixed pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables. Writers sometimes describe especially rhythmic or vivid prose as poetic, which shows that the line between the two forms is more about structure than about beauty of language.
