What does STACK mean in Scrabble?
noun
A large, neatly arranged pile of objects, one placed on top of another.
A stack keeps objects tidy and saves space by using height rather than spreading them across a wide area, which is why plates, books, and hay are all commonly kept in a stack. In computing, a stack also names a data structure in which the last item added is the first one removed, an idea borrowed directly from the everyday image of a physical pile. Farms once built tall outdoor stacks of hay or straw to protect the harvest from rain, giving the word a strong association with rural life in older English. The verb to stack simply means to arrange things one on top of another.
How STACK is used
