scrabblers
Tile-placing word competitors
People who scrabble—scratching, clawing, or scrambling to get something.
Scrabblers struggle and grab, often in competition with others: scrabblers fighting over the last sale items.
The word suggests undignified effort, people grasping at limited resources or opportunities.
Less commonly, scrabblers are players of the board game Scrabble.
