What does TANGLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A confused, knotted mass of threads, hair, or other things twisted together.
A tangle forms when threads, wires, hair, or similar strands cross and loop around each other until no clear beginning or end can be found. The word extends easily beyond string and hair to any confused situation, so a family argument or a legal case can be described as a tangle just as readily as a knot of wire. As a verb, to tangle something is to twist it into this state, whether by accident or through struggle.
