What does WORT mean in Scrabble?
noun
The sweet liquid drawn from malted grain before it is fermented into beer.
Wort is the stage between mashing and fermentation: sugar in water, and nothing alcoholic yet. Brewers judge a beer largely by what the wort was like before the yeast went in, which is why the word turns up in every brewing log. The same three letters end the names of many plants — liverwort, St John's wort — from an unrelated Old English word for herb.
