What does RAGGLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A narrow groove cut into a wall or masonry joint to hold the edge of a flashing, roof covering, or sheet of glass.
A raggle lets a roofer or bricklayer tuck the top edge of a flashing strip into solid masonry so that rainwater cannot get behind it and run down the inside of a wall. Workers cut a raggle with an angle grinder or a special chisel, following a chimney, parapet, or abutment, and then seal the finished groove with mortar or sealant once the flashing is in place. A raggle that has been cut too shallow, or left unsealed, is a common cause of damp patches appearing on chimney breasts inside a house.

- The roofer cut a raggle along the chimney to tuck in the new flashing.
