What does UNCURL mean in Scrabble?
verb
To straighten out or open up something that was coiled, rolled or tightly bent.
You uncurl a cat that has been sleeping in a ball, a fern frond opening in spring, or your fingers after a long grip. The verb works both with an object and without one, so a leaf can uncurl by itself or a person can uncurl a hand. It often suggests relaxation, as when someone uncurls from a tense posture.
