What does WIGGLE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To move with short, quick motions from side to side or up and down, or to make something do so.
A dog wiggles its tail, a child wiggles a loose tooth and a worm wiggles through the soil, so the verb suits small, lively and slightly awkward movement. It can also mean working your way out of a tight spot, as in to wiggle out of a promise. The noun is the movement itself, and the phrase wiggle room means freedom to adjust a plan.
