What does CHEEP mean in Scrabble?
verb
To make a short, high-pitched sound, as a young bird or small chick.
Chicks and other young birds cheep when they call for food or answer the mother bird, producing a thin, repeated note quite different from a fuller adult song. The word can also be used as a noun for the sound itself. Toy makers borrow the word for small battery devices that mimic a bird's call. Because the sound is so small and high, cheep suggests something young, weak or barely audible rather than a strong birdsong.
How CHEEP is used
Used mainly for the sound made by young birds and chicks, and occasionally as a noun for that same sound.
