What does INGLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scotsliterary
A domestic fire or fireplace, especially one that serves as the warm, gathering center of a room.
Ingle entered English through Scots dialect and once referred simply to the hearth fire around which a household would sit through cold evenings. The related term ingle nook names the cozy seating alcove built directly beside a large fireplace, a feature still found in older Scottish and English farmhouses. Though rarely used in ordinary modern speech, ingle survives in literary and poetic writing as an atmospheric word for hearth and home.
