What does RACKET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A light bat with an oval frame strung with tight netting, used to hit the ball or shuttlecock in games such as tennis, squash and badminton.
Players of racket sports choose a racket by its weight, balance and string tension, since each changes how the ball leaves the strings. The same spelling also names a loud, confused noise, as when children make a racket in the next room, and a dishonest money-making scheme run by criminals, such as a protection racket. All three senses are common, and context makes it clear which is meant.
