What does GLANCE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To look quickly and briefly at something, or to strike a surface at an angle and bounce off.
A glance takes only a moment, which separates it from a stare or a gaze. The same idea of a brief touch carries over to light flashing off a surface and to a blow that skims away instead of landing squarely. As a noun, glance names the quick look itself, and in mineral talk it is also an old name for certain shiny sulphide ores.
