EIDE scores 5 points
Before any bonus squares: E 1 + I 1 + D 2 + E 1 = 5. On a double-word square that's 10, on a triple-word 15, and every letter bonus under one of these tiles is applied first.
Example: EIDE as the first play
Later in the game, put the D on a 3L square and EIDE is worth 9 before any word bonus.
Hooks: one tile makes a new word
After EIDE (1):
- EIDERduck of the northern hemisphere much valued for the fine soft down of the females
Place that one tile so it also forms a word in the other direction and both words score.
