What does GLASS mean in Scrabble?
noun
A hard, brittle material, usually transparent, made by melting sand with other substances and cooling it rapidly so it does not crystallize.
Glass is prized for letting light through while keeping out wind and rain, which is why it fills windows, bottles, and drinking vessels of every kind. Manufacturers vary its ingredients and cooling process to make specialized types, such as tempered glass for safety or colored glass for stained-glass windows. Because ordinary glass shatters into sharp pieces, many products now use toughened or laminated versions wherever breakage would be dangerous.
