What does STYLUS mean in Scrabble?
noun
A pointed tool for writing or marking, or a pen-shaped device used to touch and draw on a screen.
In ancient Rome a stylus was a sharp rod used to scratch letters into a wax tablet, with the blunt end rubbed over the wax to erase mistakes. The name survived into the gramophone age for the needle that rides in the groove of a record. Modern touchscreens brought it back as a slim pen that lets a person write or draw directly on the glass.
