What does SNAKY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Resembling a snake in shape or movement; winding, twisting, or, figuratively, sly and treacherous.
Snaky most often describes a path, river or line that curves and twists the way a snake's body does when it moves. The word can also be used of a person's character, where it suggests slyness or untrustworthy behavior, drawing on old associations between snakes and deceit. In descriptions of hair or rope, snaky can simply mean long and sinuously coiled without any negative sense at all. Context usually makes clear whether snaky is being used literally, about shape, or figuratively, about character.
