About OF
OF is everyday. It is one of the few two-letter homes for the 4-point F, along with EF, FA, FE and IF, so it is worth keeping in mind when the F is stuck.

OF scores 5 points
Before any bonus squares: O 1 + F 4 = 5. On a double-word square that's 10, on a triple-word 15, and every letter bonus under one of these tiles is applied first.
Example: OF as the first play
Later in the game, put the F on a 3L square and OF is worth 13 before any word bonus.
