What does CLOUD mean in Scrabble?
noun
A visible mass of tiny water droplets or ice crystals floating in the sky.
A cloud forms when water vapor in the atmosphere cools and condenses around tiny particles of dust, producing a mass visible from the ground. Clouds vary enormously in shape, height, and color, and their patterns help forecasters predict weather. The word is also used figuratively for anything that obscures or troubles, as in a cloud of suspicion, and, more recently, for online data storage known as the cloud.
