What does FLUTE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A slender woodwind instrument played by blowing air across a hole near one end, or a long, narrow groove cut into a surface such as a column or fabric.
A flute produces sound when a player's breath crosses a sharp edge near the mouthpiece, and pitch changes as fingers cover or uncover holes or press keys along its length. The same word also names a very different thing in architecture and dressmaking: a flute is a shallow groove cut into a column or pressed into fabric to create a ridged, decorative pattern. A flute of champagne, a tall narrow glass, borrows its shape and its name from the musical instrument's slender form. Despite the different uses, every sense of flute shares the idea of a long, narrow, hollow or grooved form.

Common in everyday speech for the musical instrument and the wine glass, and in technical writing for architectural grooves.
