RAISING (noun): helping someone grow up to be an accepted member of the community; "they debated whether nature or nurture was more important". Additional senses: the properties acquired as a consequence of the way you were treated as a child; the event of something being raised upward; "an elevation of the temperature in the afternoon"; "a raising of the land resulting from volcanic activity"; increasing in quantity or value; "a cost-raising increase in the basic wage rate".

In standard Scrabble scoring, RAISING totals 8 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. RAISING 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.
