What does SWEET mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Having the pleasant taste characteristic of sugar or honey, rather than sour, salty, or bitter.
Sweet describes flavors dominated by sugars, and it is one of the five basic tastes the tongue detects alongside sour, salty, bitter, and umami. The word extends easily beyond food, describing pleasant smells, gentle sounds, and kind or endearing behavior, as when someone calls a thoughtful gesture sweet. Because the sense is so flexible, sweet often works as a general term of approval quite apart from anything to do with sugar.
