What does PELLET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small, rounded, compressed mass of a substance, such as food, waste or shot.
A pellet can be a manufactured object, such as the compressed pellets burned in a wood-pellet stove or the tiny lead or steel pellets fired from an air rifle. The word also describes natural formations, most famously the compact ball of bone and fur that owls cough up after digesting a rodent whole. Because shape rather than material defines a pellet, the same word covers animal feed, fertiliser and even nuclear fuel once it has been formed into small, dense lumps. The size stays modest throughout these uses, rarely larger than a fingertip.
How PELLET is used
Common in everyday and technical contexts alike, from air-gun ammunition to industrial manufacturing and animal biology.
