What does SMUDGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A dirty or blurred mark made when something is rubbed or touched while still wet or soft.
A smudge is what a thumb leaves on a window or a hand leaves across fresh ink. The word is also used for a smoky fire lit on purpose to keep insects away from people or to protect plants from frost, and the same word works as a verb for making such a mark. Pencil drawings and charcoal sketches are especially prone to a smudge when the artist is careless.
