What does MELTY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Soft and gooey from melting, or very ready to melt.
Melty is a recent, informal coinage built simply by adding -y to melt, and it took off with the language of food, especially descriptions of cheese, chocolate, and other things people want warm and soft rather than solid. It fills a gap that melted does not quite cover, since melted describes something that has already changed state, while melty describes the appealing in-between texture itself. The word is common in recipes and reviews but still avoided in more formal writing.
