Whois & Analysis for winscrabble.com

Scrabble is a word game in which two to four players score points by placing tiles, each bearing a single letter, onto a gameboard which is divided into a 15×15 grid of squares.

The tiles must form words which, in crossword fashion, flow left to right in rows or downwards in columns.

The words must be defined in a standard dictionary, or present in specified reference works (e.g., the Official Tournament and Club Word List, the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary), which provide a list of officially permissible words.

In linguistics, a word is the smallest element that can be uttered in isolation with semantic or pragmatic content (with literal or practical meaning).

This contrasts deeply with a morpheme, which is the smallest unit of meaning but will not necessarily stand on its own.

A word may consist of a single morpheme (for example: oh!, rock, red, quick, run, expect), or several (rocks, redness, quickly, running, unexpected), whereas a morpheme may not be able to stand on its own as a word (in the words just mentioned, these are -s, -ness, -ly, -ing, un-, -ed).

Transepidermal water loss (TWL or TEWL) is a term associated with dermatology and its connected sciences.

It is defined as the measurement of the quantity of water that passes from inside a body (animal or plant) through the epidermal layer (skin) to the surrounding atmosphere via diffusion and evaporation processes.

TWL in mammals is also known as "insensible water loss" as it is a process over which organisms have little physiological control.

A letter is a grapheme (written character) in an alphabetic system of writing, such as the Greek alphabet and its descendants.

Letters also appear in abjads and abugidas (variants of alphabets in which vowel marking is secondary or absent).

Letters broadly denote phonemes in the spoken form of the language, although there is rarely a consistent exact correspondence between letters and phonemes.
