What does SPRAWL mean in Scrabble?
verb
To sit, lie or fall with the limbs stretched out loosely, or to spread over a wide area without order.
Sprawl began as a word for the awkward way a body lies when it has dropped or lounged, arms and legs flung wide. It later grew a wider meaning for anything that spreads untidily, from ivy across a wall to a town across the surrounding fields. As a noun it names both the posture and the unplanned growth itself, as in urban sprawl.
