What does REREAD mean in Scrabble?
verb
To read something, such as a book, letter, or document, again after having already read it once.
Reread is one of the simplest re- verbs in English, built by adding the prefix directly to read with no spelling change for either the present or the past tense. People reread a favorite novel to notice details missed the first time, reread a contract before signing it, or reread an email to make sure the tone sounds right. The related noun a reread describes the act itself, as when someone gives an old book a reread years later. Because reading is such a basic activity, reread applies naturally to almost any kind of text, from a text message to a lengthy legal report.
