MIX scores 12 points

Before any bonus squares: M 3 + I 1 + X 8 = 12. On a double-word square that's 24, on a triple-word 36, and every letter bonus under one of these tiles is applied first.

Example: MIX as the first play

MIX through the ★: M 3 + I 1 + X 8 = 12, and the ★ doubles the first word: 24 points. New tiles are outlined.

Later in the game, put the X on a 3L square and MIX is worth 28 before any word bonus.
