What does SNICK mean in Scrabble?
verb
To make a small cut or notch in something, or to strike it with a slight, glancing touch.
A tailor might snick a thread to trim it cleanly, while a cricket batter can snick the ball with the edge of the bat, sending it flying off at an unexpected angle. Both uses share the same idea of a light, precise contact rather than a full, deliberate blow. As a noun, a snick is either the small cut itself or that glancing touch, and the word often appears in cricket commentary.
