What does WAFER mean in Scrabble?
noun
A very thin, light and often crisp biscuit, or a thin flat disc of unleavened bread used in religious communion.
A wafer is prized for being thin rather than filling, so bakers use it as a light accompaniment to ice cream or as a crisp layer between other sweets. In church services many Christian traditions use a small round wafer instead of a piece of bread during the communion rite. Outside food and religion, engineers also call a thin slice of silicon used to make computer chips a wafer, since the shape and thinness match the original sense. The common thread in every use of wafer is a shape that is broad and flat but barely thick at all.
How WAFER is used
Common in everyday speech for the thin biscuit and in specialised contexts for communion bread and semiconductor manufacturing.
