About AEON
AEON means an immensely long period of time, the British and older spelling of EON; both are valid, with the plurals AEONS and EONS. Think of it as EON with an A in front, which is also a front hook to remember: if EON is on the board, one A makes AEON. Three vowels and an N make it a handy rack cleaner when you have too many vowels.

AEON scores 4 points
Before any bonus squares: A 1 + E 1 + O 1 + N 1 = 4. On a double-word square that's 8, on a triple-word 12, and every letter bonus under one of these tiles is applied first.
Example: AEON as the first play
Later in the game, put the A on a 3L square and AEON is worth 6 before any word bonus.
