It means to scrape or grope about quite frenetically.

As you only get 7 letters as a maximumon your rack at a time, you would have to hope that there was a letter down that could be used. Despite that I looked in the scrabble word book (the official list of words allowed in the game) and yes, scrabble is allowed.

Yes it's a word and yes it's acceptable in the game.
Many people have played it. It has an anagram - CLABBERS
Riteaid89 is wrong, words up to 15 letter are allowed because there a fifteen spaces in each row and column on the board. Of course you must extend from word already played, since there are 7 letters on a rack
Two friends of mine played a game which contained the amazing DISINFORMATIONS!

I don't know, but I got Pointsettia once and I was sooo Proud of myself, (I was playing speed scrabble, thats why there is a bunch of letters)...but advice to all
If you get the letter Q: Qat is a word, and when do you not have a T or A?
Happy Scabbling

hi
According to the Modern English Dictionary, the word SCRABBLE , means "Scratch or scrape with rapid movements of hands or paws, hence when a child learns to draw or write, it does the scribbling, rapid movements again of hands.
Yes I have seen it used on the board once, on a Triple Letter score. great.

Scrabble is a word (meaning to scratch). I haven't used it in the actual game though...

Yes, it is a valid word. I can't remember if I have played it before.
Now if somebody gave you the odds of getting the right letters, that would be interesting!
BTW somebody recently got 365 points in a play for QUIXOTRY. If you google that word I bet you can find the story.
