What does RUNNY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Tending to flow or drip like a liquid; more watery or fluid than usual, especially of something normally thicker.
Runny describes a texture that has thinned past what is expected, whether that is a fried egg with a soft, flowing yolk or a nose that drips during a cold. Cooks use the word to judge doneness, since a runny sauce or batter has not thickened enough on the heat. The same idea of unwanted flow extends to illness, where a runny nose is one of the most familiar symptoms of a common cold.
