What does WEDGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A piece of material, thick at one end and tapering to a thin edge at the other, used to split, tighten or hold something in place.
A wedge works by concentrating force onto a thin edge, which is why the same simple shape can split logs, prop open a door, or lift a heavy object slightly off the ground. The word also describes anything shaped like this triangular block, from a wedge of cheese cut from a wheel to a wedge of pie. As a verb, to wedge something means to force it firmly into a narrow space or hold it in place with such a shape.

Common in everyday speech, both for the physical tool and for anything roughly triangular or firmly jammed into place.
