What does CROON mean in Scrabble?
verb
To sing or hum in a soft, low, and often sentimental voice.
To croon means to let a melody fall gently rather than filling a room with volume, a style closely tied to popular singers of the mid twentieth century such as Bing Crosby. The word can also describe an older, cattle-like moan or the low murmuring of wind and water, showing that its core sense is simply a soft, drawn-out sound. A voice that continues to croon is prized for warmth and intimacy rather than power, which is why the word rarely describes loud or forceful singing.

Used mainly for soft, sentimental singing, especially in older popular music, and occasionally for a low, continuous murmuring sound.
