QUESTION (noun): uncertainty about the truth or factuality or existence of something; "the dubiousness of his claim"; "there is no question about the validity of the enterprise". Additional senses: the subject matter at issue; "the question of disease merits serious discussion"; "under the head of minor Roman poets"; an informal reference to a marriage proposal; "he was ready to pop the question"; a formal proposal for action made to a deliberative assembly for discussion and vote; "he made a motion to adjourn"; "she called for the question".
In standard Scrabble scoring, QUESTION totals 17 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. QUESTION includes premium tiles (Q), which can swing tight games when you cover a double- or triple-letter square.
QUESTION is 8 letters long, begins with Q, ends with N, and sorts to the alphagram EINOQSTU. No other entry in this dictionary rearranges into the same letter set, so QUESTION is unique within its alphagram family. Letter makeup: 4 vowels, 4 consonants.
