What does CINDER mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small piece of burnt coal or wood that no longer flames but may still glow with heat.
Cinders are what a fire leaves behind: partly burnt fragments, lighter than the fuel they came from and often still hot. The word also covers the hard clinker left from smelting and the loose volcanic fragments that pile up around a cinder cone. Cinders were once spread on icy paths and used to build running tracks, and the fairy-tale name Cinderella comes from a girl who sleeps among them.
