What does WIGEON mean in Scrabble?
noun
A medium-sized freshwater duck that grazes on land and gives a whistling call.
The male wigeon is easy to pick out on a winter marsh by its chestnut head with a pale buttery stripe on the forehead, while the female is a mottled brown. Flocks feed on grass much as geese do, and the whistled whee-oo call carries a long way across open water. The wigeon is the same bird that many writers spell with a d in the middle, and both spellings are listed in word games.
How WIGEON is used
Used by birdwatchers and hunters; the spelling with a d is the more common one in everyday writing.
