SIX is the number after five; its plural is SIXES, as in at sixes and sevens. SIX uses an S, an I and the X, worth 10 points before any bonus. Everyone knows it, which makes it an easy home for the X.

SIX scores 10 points
Before any bonus squares: S 1 + I 1 + X 8 = 10. On a double-word square that's 20, on a triple-word 30, and every letter bonus under one of these tiles is applied first.
Example: SIX as the first play
Later in the game, put the X on a 3L square and SIX is worth 26 before any word bonus.
