What does QUAKY mean in Scrabble?
adjective

Quaky describes something that shakes or trembles the way ground does during an earthquake, whether the thing shaking is a person's voice, a rickety piece of furniture, or the earth itself. It carries a slightly informal, homely tone compared with more clinical words like tremulous, and it is used both literally, for physical shaking, and figuratively, for a nervous or unsteady feeling.
