What does FLUTY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
literary
Having a clear, breathy tone similar to that of a flute, especially used to describe a voice or musical sound.
A fluty voice or sound carries the light, rounded, slightly airy quality associated with a flute rather than a reedy or brassy tone. The word is most often applied to singing voices, birdsong, or wind instruments that produce a smooth, hollow note. Critics use fluty to praise a singer whose upper register sounds soft and pure rather than strained. The term is descriptive rather than technical, so its exact meaning shifts with the writer's ear.
