Is MMM a valid word?

MMM is the sound people make when something tastes good, or when they agree without really saying so; MM, with two M tiles, is valid too. The bag has only two M tiles, so MMM needs a blank or an M already on the board. It has no vowels at all. Picture someone taking the first bite of a warm cookie. It is a fun word to know, and a good way to score with an M on a bonus square.

Before any bonus squares: M 3 + M 3 + blank M 0 = 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.

MMM needs a blank: the bag has two M tiles.

Later in the game, put the M on a 3L square and MMM is worth 12 before any word bonus.

Place that one tile so it also forms a word in the other direction and both words score.

Swap any one letter of MMM and these are still words:

No other word in the list uses exactly the letters M, M and M.

MMM is the sound of something delicious. MM and MMM are both valid.
