What It Scores

ALLOWED is a valid word in the tournament list this site uses. Tile values only, before any premium square: 11 in Scrabble and 11 in Words With Friends. The letters break down as A1 L1 L1 O1 W4 E1 D2.

At seven letters this plays a whole rack, which is a bingo and worth 61 in Scrabble once the 50 point bonus lands.

105 shorter words come out of these tiles. On a board that matters more than the long play, because a short word on a premium square often beats a long one on plain squares.
