Glowing bit from a fire (5)

I believe the answer is:

ember

(Other definitions for ember that I've seen before include "showing residual fire" , "Hot piece of wood or coal from a fire" , "Small piece of glowing coal in a dying fire" , "Fire remnant" , "Cryptic question" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
