What does FLYER mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person, animal or aircraft that flies, or a small printed sheet used to advertise something.
The two everyday senses of flyer sit side by side without confusion: one names anything capable of flight, from a pilot to a bat, while the other names a single-page handout pushed through letterboxes or handed out in the street. Frequent air passengers count as flyers too, and airline loyalty schemes borrow the word directly in the phrase frequent flyer.
