About PALA

In standard Scrabble scoring, PALA 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.
