What does GUMMY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Sticky like gum, or lacking teeth so that the gums show clearly.
Gummy has two common uses: it describes anything sticky and clinging, such as gummy sap on a tree or gummy residue left by a label, and it also describes a mouth or smile where missing teeth leave the gums visible, as with a gummy baby or an older gummy grin. Both senses connect back to a sticky or soft quality, whether of a substance or of soft tissue in the mouth. Confectionery called gummy candy, such as gummy bears, takes its name from its soft, chewy, slightly sticky texture. The word is common and used in both everyday and commercial contexts.
How GUMMY is used
Used for sticky substances and residues, for a toothless smile, and in the names of soft, chewy sweets.
