What does RODENT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A mammal with a single pair of continuously growing front teeth used for gnawing, such as a rat, mouse, or squirrel.
Rodents form the largest single order of mammals, and the group's defining feature is a pair of sharp incisors that never stop growing, kept short only by constant gnawing on hard material. The order includes small familiar animals such as mice, rats, squirrels, hamsters, and porcupines, most of which live in large numbers and reproduce quickly. Because a rodent's front teeth must wear down through use, the animals gnaw wood, bark, or plastic as a biological necessity rather than mere habit, which is also why the word rodent is used loosely for any small gnawing pest.
