What does WRONG mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Not correct, not true, or not in accordance with what is proper, expected, or morally right.
Wrong applies to simple factual errors, as when an answer on a test is wrong, and it also carries a moral weight, describing an action that is unfair or unethical, such as stealing being wrong. The word doubles as a noun meaning an unjust act, as in righting a wrong, and as an adverb in fixed phrases like going wrong or getting something wrong. It contrasts with incorrect, which usually stays narrowly factual and rarely carries the same moral force.
How WRONG is used
Used for factual mistakes, moral judgments, malfunctioning things, and as a noun for an injustice.
