What does SINGLE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Being only one, and not one of several or a pair.
Single points to an amount of exactly one, whether describing a single object, a single event, or a single person acting alone. The word also extends to describe someone not married or not in a romantic relationship, a sense that has become extremely common in everyday speech. In sport and music, single takes on more specific meanings, naming a one-base hit in baseball or a short recording released on its own. Despite these varied uses, single always keeps its core idea of standing apart from a pair or a larger group.
