About THY
THY is an old form of your, used in prayers, hymns and Shakespeare, as in hallowed be thy name. It has no A, E, I, O or U, and its T, H and Y are worth 9 points together. It is a word everyone recognizes, so it is a safe play for a rack short on vowels.

THY scores 9 points
Before any bonus squares: T 1 + H 4 + Y 4 = 9. On a double-word square that's 18, on a triple-word 27, and every letter bonus under one of these tiles is applied first.
Example: THY as the first play
Later in the game, put the H on a 3L square and THY is worth 17 before any word bonus.
