What does SCRAWL mean in Scrabble?
verb
To write or draw quickly and untidily, so that the letters are hard to read.
To scrawl is to put words on a surface in a hurry, usually with little care for shape or spacing, and the word often suggests a rushed note or a child's first attempts at writing. The same word names the result, a scrawl, which is handwriting that looks messy or half finished. It sits close to scribble but leans more on the sloppy look of the letters than on aimless marks.
