OTHERWISE - Questions and Answers (FAQ)

Understanding the Word "OTHERWISE" in Scrabble

The word "otherwise" is an adverb that indicates a contrast or alternative situation. It is derived from the combination of "other" and "wise," which together suggest "in a different way" or "in other respects." The term is often used to imply that if a specified condition or circumstance does not occur, then something else must be true or must happen. For example, in the sentence, "You must study for the test; otherwise, you might fail," it conveys that without studying, failing becomes a likely outcome. In the context of Scrabble, "otherwise" is a valuable word to have in your vocabulary. It consists of 9 letters, which can be advantageous for scoring as it allows players to utilize high-value letters such as "W" (4 points) and "H" (4 points).
