What does TIZ mean in Scrabble?

A brief, clipped fluster of nervous excitement, the short spoken form of the fuller tizzy.
People fall into a tiz when a small upset makes them flustered rather than genuinely alarmed. The word is a shortened cousin of the more familiar tizz and tizzy, favoured in quick, casual speech where the longer form would feel unnecessary.
