What does TRILL mean in Scrabble?
noun
A rapid alternation between two adjacent musical notes, or, in speech, a rolled or vibrated consonant sound produced by rapid contact of the tongue or lips.
A singer or violinist produces a trill by rapidly alternating a note with the one just above it, creating a shimmering, ornamental effect. Birds are famous for a similar trill, a fast, warbling run of notes that carries across a garden at dawn. In phonetics, a trill is instead a consonant made by vibrating the tongue against the roof of the mouth, as in the rolled r of Spanish or Scottish English. Though the musical and linguistic senses describe different things, both rest on the same idea of rapid, repeated vibration.
How TRILL is used
