What does MIST mean in Scrabble?
noun
A thin fog or fine haze of tiny water droplets hanging in the air, usually near the ground.
Mist forms when damp air cools quickly enough for water to condense into tiny droplets. These droplets hang in the air as a light haze that blurs distant shapes. Unlike rain, mist rarely soaks anything it settles on.
