What is another word for congreve matches?
Pronunciation: [kˈɒŋɡɹɛv mˈat͡ʃɪz] (IPA) 
Congreve matches, which were named after the English inventor Sir William Congreve in the 19th century, are a type of safety matchstick that is coated with chemicals that ignite when struck against a rough surface. Although the term "Congreve matches" is now less commonly used, there are several synonyms that can be used to describe these matches, such as safety matches, strike-anywhere matches, and non-phosphorus matches. These matches are widely available in stores and are known for their convenience and ease of use in lighting candles, stoves, and fires. However, it is important to handle Congreve matches and other types of matches with care and to keep them out of reach of children and pets.
