What does GROOVE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A long narrow channel cut or worn into a surface.
A groove can be made on purpose, as in the spiral track on a vinyl record or the slot in a tongue-and-groove floorboard, or it can form by wear, as when water or wheels carve a path over time. The word also describes a settled routine, as in getting into a groove at work. In music it means the steady rhythmic feel that makes people want to move. The same word works as a verb for cutting such a channel, or for enjoying music.
