What does SEXT mean in Scrabble?
verb
informal
To send someone a sexually explicit message or photograph by phone.
Sext is a blend of sex and text, and it arrived with the camera phone around 2005. The older sense is unrelated and much quieter: in the monastic day sext is the office said at the sixth hour, around noon. Both are in the word lists, which makes the entry a small trap for anyone reading only one of them.
