What does MUNTIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A thin strip of wood or metal that separates and holds the individual panes of glass in a window sash or door.
A muntin divides a single window opening into a grid of smaller panes, a pattern common in older houses built before large sheets of glass became affordable. Builders sometimes call the same piece a muntin bar, and older texts use the alternate spelling munting for the identical part. Modern windows often use one large pane of glass with a decorative muntin grid applied to the surface purely for appearance. The term differs from a mullion, which is the heavier vertical bar separating whole window units rather than individual panes within one sash.
