About MYTH
MYTH is a traditional story, often about gods and heroes, or a widely held belief that is not true; its plural is MYTHS. It has no A, E, I, O or U, and its M, Y, T and H are worth 12 points together. It is a word everyone knows, which makes it a safe play for a vowel-short rack. Greek and Norse myths have given English many words, from echo to panic.

MYTH scores 12 points
Before any bonus squares: M 3 + Y 4 + T 1 + H 4 = 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: MYTH as the first play
Later in the game, put the Y on a 3L square and MYTH is worth 20 before any word bonus.
