What does WILFUL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
British
Done on purpose despite the consequences, or showing a stubborn determination to have your own way.
Wilful has two related uses. About an act, especially a harmful one, it means deliberate, as in wilful damage or wilful neglect, and law courts rely on that sense. About a person, it means headstrong and unwilling to listen, the way a stubborn child might be. The spelling with a single l in the middle is the British one; American writers usually double it to willful.
