What does SNAKE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A long, legless reptile with a scaly body that moves by bending its body into curves, some species of which are venomous.
Snakes range from small, harmless garden species to large constrictors and dangerous venomous kinds, and all move without limbs by pushing against the ground with their scales and muscles. The word is also used more broadly for anything long, thin and winding, such as a snake of traffic or a snake of cable, and informally for a treacherous or deceitful person. Its curving, sinuous shape is the image behind most of these extended uses.
