What does QUIRK mean in Scrabble?
noun
A peculiar habit, small oddity of behavior, or an unexpected twist in how something works.
A quirk is minor and individual rather than a serious flaw, so a person can have an endearing quirk of always humming while they work, and a machine or a set of rules can likewise have a quirk that produces a strange but harmless result. The word suggests something distinctive enough to be noticed and often affectionately tolerated.
