What does REPLAY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A second showing of a recording or of a moment in a game, or a match played again after a draw.
Sports broadcasts made the word familiar: the instant replay lets viewers watch a goal or a disputed call again from another angle. In some sports the same word names a whole fixture played over because the first meeting ended level. Outside sport it is used loosely for any event that closely repeats an earlier one, as in a replay of last year's argument. The verb has the same stress on the second syllable.
