DIG (noun): the act of touching someone suddenly with your finger or elbow; "she gave me a sharp dig in the ribs". Additional senses: the act of digging; "there's an interesting excavation going on near Princeton"; a small gouge (as in the cover of a book); "the book was in good condition except for a dig in the back cover"; an aggressive remark directed at a person like a missile and intended to have a telling effect; "his parting shot was `drop dead'"; "she threw shafts of sarcasm"; "she takes a dig at me every chance she gets".
In standard Scrabble scoring, DIG totals 5 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. DIG 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.
