In standard Scrabble scoring, ADAPID totals 10 points before multipliers. That sum uses official letter values: common tiles (A, E, I, O, U, L, N, S, T, R) are worth 1, while D and G are 2, B, C, M, P are 3, F, H, V, W, Y are 4, K is 5, J and X are 8, and Q and Z are 10. ADAPID relies mostly on common tiles, which often makes it easier to play from a mixed rack but caps the raw ceiling compared with high-premium words.

ADAPID is 6 letters long, begins with A, ends with D, and sorts to the alphagram AADDIP. No other entry in this dictionary rearranges into the same letter set, so ADAPID is unique within its alphagram family. Letter makeup: 3 vowels, 3 consonants.
