About MELA
MELA is a valid 4-letter English word in our word-game dictionary. Word detail pages like this one help you evaluate spelling, scoring potential, and related vocabulary before you play Scrabble, Words with Friends, crosswords, or anagram puzzles.
In standard Scrabble scoring, MELA is worth 6 points as a raw tile total. That figure adds each letter's face value — common vowels and consonants such as A, E, R, and T are worth 1 point, while premium letters like Q and Z are worth 10. Board multipliers (double letter, triple word, and so on) are applied only during actual gameplay; this page shows the base score so you can compare words fairly.
MELA begins with M and ends with A. Its alphagram AELM is the sorted signature of its letters, which makes it easy to spot anagram families at a glance. There are 7 other anagrams sharing those exact letters.
Letter composition matters in word games. MELA includes 2 vowels and 2 consonants. It uses mostly common tiles, which often makes it easier to play from a mixed rack.
