/skɹæm/verb
Leave in a hurry, go away.
“What are you kids doing on my lawn? Scram!”
SCRAM is a 5-letter word with 1 vowel (A) and 4 consonants (S, C, R, M). Every letter is distinct, so it rarely punishes a clean opening guess.
It leans on high-frequency letters (S, R, A), so a strong vowel-and-common-consonant opener tends to light up quickly. There are no rare letters here, so it is a fair, mid-difficulty answer for the daily Classic puzzle.
