What does WUDDY mean in Scrabble?
noun
dialectScots
A large loop formed at the end of a length of rope, used for slipping over a post or hook.
A wuddy is made by doubling a rope back on itself and securing the end, giving a fixed circle that can be slipped over a post, an animal or a hook. Older Scots word-lists treat wuddy as plain rope-work vocabulary, though the same loop shape once served as a hangman noose in older usage. Outside dialect glossaries and word-game references, wuddy has almost disappeared from everyday speech.

Confined to Scots dialect and older glossaries; a modern speaker would simply say loop or noose.
