What does SNARL mean in Scrabble?
noun
A fierce, low growl made by an animal baring its teeth in warning or anger; also a tangled, confused mass of threads, hair or traffic, or a complicated, hard-to-resolve situation.
A dog's snarl combines a growl with bared teeth, a clear signal of aggression meant to warn off a threat before any actual attack. The same word describes a knot of tangled yarn or hair that resists untangling, and by extension it names any messy, congested situation, such as a traffic snarl that brings a highway to a crawl. As a verb, to snarl can mean either to growl threateningly or to tangle something into a confused knot, so context decides which sense applies.
How SNARL is used
Used both literally for an animal's growl or a tangle of material, and figuratively for a confused or congested situation such as a traffic snarl.
