What does SWAMP mean in Scrabble?
noun
An area of low-lying, waterlogged ground, often thickly overgrown with trees and other vegetation.
A swamp forms where water collects in flat or poorly drained land, creating soft, wet ground that supports water-tolerant trees, reeds and other plants. A swamp differs from an open marsh mainly in having substantial tree cover, and it supports a wide variety of wildlife adapted to standing water. The word is also used as a verb meaning to overwhelm or flood, as when a task or a place is said to swamp someone with more than they can handle. Both the noun and the verb carry the same underlying idea of being covered or overcome by something in excess.
