About ME

ME is everyday and safe. Add a D for MED, an L for MEL, an N for MEN, a T for MET or a W for MEW. Its plural MES is valid too, since in the word list ME is a noun meaning the ego.

ME scores 4 points

Before any bonus squares: M 3 + E 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: ME as the first play

ME through the ★: M 3 + E 1 = 4, and the ★ doubles the first word: 8 points. New tiles are outlined.

Later in the game, put the M on a 3L square and ME is worth 10 before any word bonus.
