What does RECAP mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A brief summary of what has already been said, shown, or done, meant to remind or bring listeners up to date.
A recap pulls out the key points from something longer, whether that is the plot of a television episode, the main events of a meeting, or the highlights of a game, so people can catch up quickly. News programs and podcasts frequently open with a recap of previous coverage before moving into new material. As an informal shortening of recapitulation, recap fits naturally into casual speech and quick, everyday writing.
