What does SNATCH mean in Scrabble?
verb
To seize something quickly and often roughly with a sudden grab.
Snatch carries the feeling of speed: a bag snatched from a table, a chance snatched before it vanishes, a few hours of sleep snatched between shifts. It may suggest theft or rudeness, but it can be neutral, as when a goalkeeper snatches the ball out of the air. The same word is also a noun for a brief fragment, such as a snatch of song.
