Additional senses: the relative magnitude of something with reference to a criterion; "an adequate amount of food for four people"; a quantity obtained by the addition of a group of numbers; a quantity of money; "he borrowed a large sum"; "the amount he had in cash was insufficient".

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. AMOUNT 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.
