What does CRUMB mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small fragment or particle of bread, cake, or other baked food, especially one that has broken off from a larger piece.
A crumb is what remains scattered across a table or plate once bread, cake, or a biscuit has been cut, bitten, or handled roughly, each piece far too small to count as a proper slice. Beyond the kitchen, crumb often works figuratively for the smallest available share of something larger, as when someone is offered only a crumb of information or a crumb of comfort. The plural crumbs also names the coating used to bread meat or fish before frying, made from bread that has been dried and broken up. However it appears, crumb always points to a fragment far smaller than the whole it came from.

Very common in everyday speech, both literally for bits of food and figuratively for a tiny, inadequate share of something.
