What does AIZLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scots
A hot ember or spark of fire, especially in Scots usage; also glowing ash.
An aizle is a small glowing ember or spark that remains after a fire has burned down, still hot enough to flare up again if disturbed. The word comes from older Scots speech, where hearth fires were a daily part of household life and the last aizle often had to be raked over to keep it alive until morning. It survives today mainly in dialect writing and regional glossaries rather than in everyday standard English.
