What does TODAY mean in Scrabble?
adverb
On or during this present day; also, the present era or time in general.
Today anchors an action or statement to the current calendar day, as when someone says the mail arrives today rather than tomorrow or yesterday. Used as a noun, today can also refer to the present time more broadly, contrasting how things stood in the past with how they stand today. News reports and casual speech both rely on today constantly to fix events in time without naming an exact date. The word combines the old prefix to- with day, literally meaning on this day.
