What does THINK mean in Scrabble?
verb
To use one's mind to form ideas, judgments, opinions, or conclusions about something.
People think in many different ways, from quick, almost automatic reactions to slow, deliberate reasoning worked through step by step. The word covers everything from idle daydreaming to careful problem solving, and it can describe a private mental process or an opinion someone is willing to share aloud. Because thinking happens inside the mind, other people can only judge it by what someone says or does afterward. Philosophers and scientists alike have spent centuries trying to explain exactly what happens when a person thinks.
