What does RECITE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To say a poem, passage, or list of facts aloud from memory, typically before an audience.
To recite something is to deliver it aloud from memory rather than read it from a page, often in front of listeners, as with a poem, a prayer, or a list of facts learned by heart. The word implies preparation beforehand and performance in the moment, whether a schoolchild reciting a poem in class or a lawyer reciting the facts of a case for a judge. Recite differs from simply saying, since it points to prepared material delivered in a set order.
How RECITE is used
