What does TRICK mean in Scrabble?
noun
A cunning or skilful act intended to deceive, surprise, amuse, or achieve a particular result.
A trick can be as harmless as a card trick performed for entertainment or as damaging as a trick played to cheat someone out of money, so the word covers everything from magic and games to fraud and mischief. Children play a trick on a friend for fun, while con artists use a trick to gain someone's trust before taking advantage of them, and the shared idea is a clever manoeuvre that is not immediately obvious to the target. English also uses trick as a verb, meaning to deceive someone through such a manoeuvre, and in phrases like the trick of the trade, meaning a specialised skill learned through experience. Because a trick depends on surprise or misdirection, once it is understood or repeated too often it usually stops working.
