What does KREWE mean in Scrabble?
noun
regionalNorth American
An organized club or society that sponsors a parade, ball or float, especially during Mardi Gras celebrations in the southern United States.
A krewe plans and funds its own parade or ball each year, often choosing a theme, designing costumes and floats, and electing members to honorary royal titles for the occasion. The spelling krewe deliberately echoes old English rather than the ordinary crew, marking the word as a distinct cultural term rather than a simple variant. New Orleans is especially associated with krewes, some of which have paraded for well over a century and maintain long-standing traditions and secrecy around membership. Smaller cities and towns along the Gulf Coast have their own krewe, following the same general pattern on a more local scale.
