What does SYNCH mean in Scrabble?
verb
informal
To synchronise two or more things so that they happen, operate, or match up at the same time; a shortened spelling of sync.
Synch is most familiar from modern technology, where people synch a phone with a computer so that contacts, photos and files match on both devices, but the word also applies more generally to timing sound and picture, aligning schedules, or coordinating movement. The spelling synch, with its silent final h, mirrors the pronunciation of synchronise more closely than the shorter sync, though both forms are common in informal writing. Dancers rehearse until their steps synch perfectly, and film editors synch dialogue to the actor's lips before a scene is finished. The idea behind synch is always the same: bringing separate things into a shared, matching rhythm or state.
