What does RIPPLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small wave or a gentle rising and falling movement on the surface of water.
A ripple appears when a pebble drops into a pond or a light breeze crosses a lake, and it spreads outward in a widening ring. The word is also used for anything that spreads in a similar way, such as a murmur of laughter through a room or an effect that passes from one event to the next. As a verb it describes the movement itself, and in some trades a ripple is also a comb-like tool for stripping seeds from flax.
