What does SWIFT mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Moving or capable of moving with great speed; occurring or acting quickly.
A swift response, a swift current or a swift runner all share the same idea: motion or action completed with little delay. The adjective is used for the physical speed of animals, vehicles and rivers as well as for the promptness of decisions and reactions. English also uses swift as a noun for a fast-flying bird whose scythe-shaped wings and speed inspired the name, though the adjective is by far the more common use today. Because the word carries no negative shade, it fits both formal reports and everyday conversation.
