What does REBID mean in Scrabble?
verb
To bid again, especially after an earlier bid has been rejected, revised, or reopened.
Rebid appears often in card games such as bridge, where a player may rebid a suit to give a partner more information after the first round of bidding. The same word also shows up in business and construction, where a contractor might rebid a project after the original bids came in too high or a contract fell through. In both settings, rebid signals a second, adjusted attempt rather than a completely new offer.
