KIND (noun): a category of things distinguished by some common characteristic or quality; "sculpture is a form of art"; "what kinds of desserts are there?". Additional senses: tolerant and forgiving under provocation; "our neighbor was very kind about the window our son broke"; agreeable, conducive to comfort; "a dry climate kind to asthmatics"; "the genial sunshine"; "hot summer pavements are anything but kind to the feet"; having or showing a tender and considerate and helpful nature; used especially of persons and their behavior; "kind to sick patients"; "a kind master"; "kind words showing understanding and sympathy"; "thanked her for her kind letter".

In standard Scrabble scoring, KIND totals 9 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. KIND 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.

KIND is 4 letters long, begins with K, ends with D, and sorts to the alphagram DIKN. There is 1 anagram in this dictionary sharing that exact letter bag. Letter makeup: 1 vowel, 3 consonants.

Among 18 tracked 4-letter entries, KIND ranks by raw score (9 points). Anagram alternatives include DINK — useful when you need the same tiles with a different hook letter.

Strategically, KIND carries 1 vowel and 3 consonants. Its consonant-heavy shape pairs well with open vowel dumps on the board. Hooks on K or D are common study angles; browse words starting with K and words ending with D to rehearse parallel sets.
