What does HEWER mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person who cuts or shapes something heavy by striking it, such as wood, stone or coal.
A hewer works with an axe, pick or chisel to cut something roughly into shape through repeated blows, rather than by sawing or carving finely. Coal mining once used the word for the miner who broke coal from the seam, and it also appears in the old biblical phrase hewers of wood, meaning laborers assigned the heaviest manual cutting work.
