What does FLAME mean in Scrabble?
noun
The visible, hot glowing gas produced by something on fire.
A flame is the bright, flickering plume of burning gas that rises from a fire, candle, or gas ring, and its shape and colour depend on what fuel is burning and how much oxygen reaches it. Beyond the literal fire, flame is used for a strong feeling, as in the flame of an old love, and informally for a hostile message posted online. Cooks talk of searing meat over an open flame, while poets have long used flame as a symbol of passion or danger.

Common in everyday speech and writing, both for real fire and, figuratively, for strong emotion or heated online arguments.
