Blocks are puzzle-piece shapes that are used to create code in Scratch.

A Boolean block is an elongated hexagonal block that reports boolean values.

A C block is a block that is shaped like a "C", so other blocks can fit inside it.

A Stack block is a rectangular block that is shaped to fit above and below other blocks.

A collaboration, or collab for short, is a group of Scratchers who work together to make one or more things (these can include, but are not limited to, projects), or to do something related to the community.

When uploading Scratch projects to the Scratch Website prior to Scratch 2.0, the file size for sharing was limited to 10 megabytes (10,240 kilobytes).

They are used to control scripts.

Duplicates are used to use one thing more than once

The Green Flag is a programming feature that, when clicked, will start all scripts in that project that are hatted with the When Green Flag Clicked block.

Although kaj is no longer on the website, they are often blamed for so-called "hacking" into other users' accounts, though whether they actually did so was never confirmed.

Loop is used to make things keep going and going.

MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface.

Motion Block are used to control a sprite's movement. They are available only for sprites.

A profile page is a Scratcher's user page.

Operator Blocks are used to script math equations and string handling.

The Paint Editor is Scratch's built-in image editor. Many Scratchers create their own sprites and backdrops using it.

The Pen is a feature in Scratch that allows a Sprite to draw shapes, plot colored pixels, and so forth on the screen with the pen blocks.

The Pen extension is a Scratch 3.0 extension allowing sprites to control their pens, as well as stamp themselves onto the stage and remove all pen marks.

A PicoBoard was a piece of hardware that allowed Scratch projects to interact with the outside world.

Sensing blocks is one of the ten categories of blocks. They are color-coded light blue, and are used to detect different factors of a project.

Sprites, either user-created, uploaded, or found in the sprites library, are the objects that the objects that perform actions in a project.

A variable is a changeable value recorded in Scratch's memory.

The position that a sprite or the mouse is at the vertical axis

The position that a sprite or the mouse is at the horizontal axis
