About DOX
DOX means to find and publish someone's private details, such as a home address, online without their consent, a word that grew out of internet culture from docs, short for documents. It puts the 8-point X at the end of a three-letter word with a D and an O, worth 11 before any bonus. It is a fairly recent word.

DOX scores 11 points
Before any bonus squares: D 2 + O 1 + X 8 = 11. On a double-word square that's 22, on a triple-word 33, and every letter bonus under one of these tiles is applied first.
Example: DOX as the first play
Later in the game, put the X on a 3L square and DOX is worth 27 before any word bonus.
