Additional senses: (usually plural) mutual dealings or connections among persons or groups; "international relations"; (law) the principle that an act done at a later time is deemed by law to have occurred at an earlier time; "his attorney argued for the relation back of the amended complaint to the time the initial complaint was filed"; an act of narration; "he was the hero according to his own relation"; "his endless recounting of the incident eventually became unbearable".

In standard Scrabble scoring, RELATION 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. RELATION 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.
