Scribbles are informal writings that are usually done quickly and without much thought. The term 'scribbles' can be broken down into three parts: NOTES (5 letters), JOTS (4 letters), and scrawls (7 letters). NOTES are short pieces of writing, usually written on paper or in a notebook. JOTS are quick, brief NOTES or ideas. Scrawls are more elaborate than JOTS, and are often done with a pen or pencil. All three terms are related to the idea of scribbling, which is an informal way of writing.
