What does GLITCH mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A small fault or hiccup that briefly stops a machine, program or plan from working properly.
A glitch is minor and usually temporary, the kind of fault that is cured by restarting the device or repeating the step. The word became widespread in the early space programme, when engineers used it for a sudden spike in an electrical circuit, and it moved from there into computing and everyday talk. Calling a problem a glitch also hints that it is not serious, which is why companies like the word when apologising for outages. As a verb it means to malfunction suddenly.
