What does WHIPT mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaic
To strike with a whip, or, in this archaic past-tense spelling of whip, to have been struck with a whip or moved suddenly and forcefully.
Whipt appears in older printed English exactly where a modern text would put whipped, whether describing a beating, the sharp cracking of a sail in the wind, or the quick whisking of cream or eggs in cooking. Spelling in earlier centuries was far less fixed than today, and whipt is simply the period form of a verb that has otherwise changed little in meaning. A reader meets whipt mainly in old books, legal records and reprinted historical texts rather than in any current writing.
