About OGEE
OGEE is an S-shaped curve, used in architecture for moldings and pointed arches; its plural is OGEES. It uses an O and two E tiles with a single G. If you look at the trim on an old cabinet or picture frame, the curvy edge is often an ogee. Many Gothic windows end in an ogee arch, curving in and then out to a point at the top. Carpenters cut ogee curves with special router bits to shape cabinet edges.

OGEE scores 5 points
Before any bonus squares: O 1 + G 2 + E 1 + E 1 = 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: OGEE as the first play
Later in the game, put the G on a 3L square and OGEE is worth 9 before any word bonus.
