REVIEW (noun): a subsequent examination of a patient for the purpose of monitoring earlier treatment. Additional senses: a formal or official examination; "the platoon stood ready for review"; "we had to wait for the inspection before we could use the elevator"; practice intended to polish performance or refresh the memory; (law) a judicial reexamination of the proceedings of a court (especially by an appellate court).
In standard Scrabble scoring, REVIEW totals 12 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. REVIEW 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.
