What does REP mean in Scrabble?
noun

A representative, especially one who sells for a company or speaks for a group.
Rep is one of those clippings that has travelled further than the word it came from: a sales rep, a union rep, a class rep. It has picked up other jobs along the way — a theatre that keeps a standing company and changes the bill weekly is a rep, and a single lift in a set of exercises is a rep as well.
How REP is used
Countable: a rep, two reps. Usually qualified — sales rep, union rep — unless the setting makes it obvious.
- The rep called twice and left a catalogue both times.
- Every floor elects a rep and nobody wants the job.
- She spent four years in rep before her first television part.
