What does LINNET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small European finch, Linaria cannabina, the male of which shows a greyish head and a reddish breast and forehead in breeding plumage.
The linnet is a common seed-eating songbird of the finch family, traditionally associated with open scrubland, hedgerows and gorse. Its name comes from its old fondness for flax and hemp seed, and the bird was once commonly kept in cages for that reason. Male linnets in summer plumage show a crimson patch on the breast and forehead, while females and winter birds are duller and streaked.
