What does WIZEN mean in Scrabble?
verb
To dry up and grow wrinkled with age.
Wizen is mostly met in its past participle — a wizened apple, a wizened face — but the plain verb still works, and it reads as deliberately old, which suits what it describes. The sense is always slow: nothing wizens overnight, and the word carries the whole process rather than the result.
