What does QUEEN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A female monarch who rules a country in her own right, or the wife of a king.
A queen may hold the throne herself as head of state, inheriting the position much as a king would, or she may hold the title through marriage to a reigning king. The word also names the most powerful piece in chess, the fertile egg-laying female in a colony of bees or ants, and the highest court card in some card games. Historically a queen's duties ranged from ceremonial leadership to direct political rule, depending on the country and period. The title is passed down through royal succession rules that vary from one monarchy to another.
