What does SCREW mean in Scrabble?
noun
A metal fastener with a helical ridge, twisted into place with a screwdriver to join or hold materials together.
A screw is driven into wood, metal or plastic by turning it, so that its spiral ridge, the thread, bites into the material and grips far more firmly than a straight nail. Screws come in countless sizes and head shapes for different tools and jobs, from tiny screws in eyeglasses to heavy screws used in construction. The same word is also a common verb, to screw something into place.
