Scrabble word points and the role of word knowledge

In Scrabble, each letter has a point value from 1 for common letters like E to 10 for Q and Z. Your word knowledge matters because knowing high-scoring words like 'quixotic' can triple your score, but you also need to know shorter, strategic words like 'qi' to fit tight spots on the board. It's not just vocabulary—understanding word patterns and obscure two-letter words separates casual players from champions.
