What does GLINT mean in Scrabble?
verb
To shine with a brief, flickering flash of light, usually as reflected off a smooth, hard, or metallic surface.
Sunlight makes a knife blade or a wet street glint for only an instant, because the light catches the surface at just the right angle before moving on. The word can also describe an emotional quality caught briefly in someone's eyes, as when anger or amusement seems to glint for a second before the face turns neutral again. Because a glint is quick and small, the verb differs from steadier verbs like shine or glow, which suggest light that lasts.
How GLINT is used
Used for a short, bright flash rather than a steady light; common in descriptive writing about surfaces, water, metal, or eyes.
