What does SPECK mean in Scrabble?
noun
A very small spot, mark, or particle of something.
A speck is defined mainly by its tiny size rather than by what it is made of, so the word applies equally to a speck of dust floating in sunlight, a speck of dirt on a shirt, or a speck on the horizon that turns out to be a distant ship. Because a speck is so small, it often stands for something almost too little to notice, and losing sight of a speck in the distance is a common image in descriptions of travel. The word can also be used loosely to suggest a very small amount of a quality, such as a speck of doubt or a speck of kindness. Its smallness is relative, so what counts as a speck depends entirely on the size of whatever surrounds it.

Everyday word for a tiny visible mark or particle, and used figuratively for a very small amount.
