What does REX mean in Scrabble?
noun
King, placed after a monarch's name in Latin formulas.
Rex appears on coins, on court papers and at the end of a signature, where it works as a title rather than as a word: Georgius Rex, shortened to GR on a postbox. Breeders took it for something else entirely — a rex rabbit or a rex cat has a coat with the guard hairs missing, so it feels like velvet.
