SYMBOL (noun): something visible that by association or convention represents something else that is invisible; "the eagle is a symbol of the United States". Additional senses: an arbitrary sign (written or printed) that has acquired a conventional significance.
In standard Scrabble scoring, SYMBOL totals 13 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. SYMBOL 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.
SYMBOL is 6 letters long, begins with S, ends with L, and sorts to the alphagram BLMOSY. There is 1 anagram in this dictionary sharing that exact letter bag. Letter makeup: 1 vowel, 5 consonants.
Among 18 tracked 6-letter entries, SYMBOL ranks by raw score (13 points). Anagram alternatives include BLOSMY — useful when you need the same tiles with a different hook letter. Similar-length words in the same dictionary include QUIZZY, BEZAZZ, PIZAZZ, ZAQQUM; open their word pages to compare endings, vowel weight, and crossover potential.
Strategically, SYMBOL carries 1 vowel and 5 consonants. Its consonant-heavy shape pairs well with open vowel dumps on the board. Hooks on S or L are common study angles; browse words starting with S and words ending with L to rehearse parallel sets.
