What does REPLY mean in Scrabble?
verb
To say, write, or otherwise respond to something that has been said, asked, or sent.
Reply describes the act of answering back, whether that means speaking a few words after a question, writing a letter in response to another letter, or sending an email once a message has arrived. The word implies that something came first and the reply follows it, so a conversation, a letter or a request is always somewhere in the background. Reply also works as a noun for the answer itself, as in his reply came a week later, and it tends to sound a touch more formal than the plainer answer.
How REPLY is used
Common in both speech and writing, verb and noun, and especially frequent in letters, emails and official correspondence.
