What does THEIR mean in Scrabble?
pronoun
The possessive form of they, used before a noun to show that something belongs to or is associated with the people, animals or things already mentioned.
Their marks something as belonging to more than one person, animal or thing that has already been named or is obvious from context, as in their house or their opinion. Modern English also accepts their with a singular antecedent of unknown or unspecified gender, so a sentence such as someone left their umbrella avoids guessing whether the owner is male or female. Unlike the possessive pronoun theirs, which stands alone as in the house is theirs, their must come directly before a noun. Because their sounds identical to there and they're, careless writers frequently confuse the three words in casual writing, even though the meanings are entirely distinct.
How THEIR is used
Used constantly in everyday speech and writing wherever ownership or association is attributed to more than one person or an unspecified individual.
