About EPEE
EPEE is a sword used in fencing, with a stiff triangular blade, and also the sport of fencing with it; its plural is EPEES. EPEE uses three E tiles at once with a single P, which is a gift when your rack is full of them. Picture a fencer's blade shaped like the letter P with E tiles on either side. In epee fencing a touch can land anywhere on the body, unlike foil or saber, which limit the target.

EPEE scores 6 points
Before any bonus squares: E 1 + P 3 + E 1 + E 1 = 6. On a double-word square that's 12, on a triple-word 18, and every letter bonus under one of these tiles is applied first.
Example: EPEE as the first play
Later in the game, put the P on a 3L square and EPEE is worth 12 before any word bonus.
