What does RIME mean in Scrabble?
noun

A white deposit of ice crystals that forms on cold surfaces exposed to freezing fog or moist air.
Rime forms when tiny supercooled water droplets in fog freeze instantly on contact with a surface below freezing, coating branches, wires and grass with a feathery white crust that differs from ordinary frost in how it forms. The same spelling was once also used as an old form of rhyme, though that sense is now archaic.
