What does WIVER mean in Scrabble?
noun
heraldry
A heraldic dragon shown with wings, two legs and a serpent-like tail, another spelling of wyvern.
A wiver appears on coats of arms as a stylised beast, distinguished from the true four-legged dragon by having only two legs beneath its wings and a barbed, snaking tail. The word is simply an older or variant spelling that heraldic writing keeps alongside wyvern and wivern, not a different creature.
