What does WITTY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Showing quick, clever and amusing skill with words, especially in conversation or writing.
Witty praises a particular kind of humor that depends on speed and cleverness rather than silliness, such as a sharp reply, a clever pun or an unexpected turn of phrase. A witty person notices connections others miss and expresses them briefly, which is why witty remarks are often quoted and remembered long after they are made. The word is closely related to wit, the mental sharpness that produces such remarks, and both words share the same root meaning knowledge or understanding. Writers, comedians and speakers are frequently praised as witty when their humor feels intelligent rather than crude or slow.
