GRILL
noun
/ɡɹɪl/
A grating; a grid of wire or a sheet of material with a pattern of holes or slots, usually used to protect something while allowing the passage of air and liquids. Typical uses: to allow air through a fan while preventing fingers or objects from passing; to allow people to talk to somebody, while preventing attack.
Difficulty 6.7/10
GRILL hides a doubled L, so players who avoid testing repeats often burn a guess on near-neighbors before they commit.
