What your tiles are made of
Only 1 vowel against 4 consonants — a consonant-heavy rack, where the long words are hard to reach.
- A1 pt
- B3 pts
- K5 pts
- N1 pt
- S1 pt
Face value of the full rack: 11 points.
- The K
- Comfortable at either end. KI and KA are valid two-letter words, which makes stray Ks easier to dump than they look.
- The S
- The most valuable tile for building long words — it pluralises almost anything, so it is usually worth saving for last.
