Additional senses: the act of undergoing testing; "he survived the great test of battle"; "candidates must compete in a trial of skill"; any standardized procedure for measuring sensitivity or memory or intelligence or aptitude or personality etc; "the test was standardized on a large sample of students"; a hard outer covering as of some amoebas and sea urchins.
In standard Scrabble scoring, TEST totals 4 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. TEST 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.
TEST is 4 letters long, begins with T, ends with T, and sorts to the alphagram ESTT. There are 2 anagrams in this dictionary sharing that exact letter bag. Letter makeup: 1 vowel, 3 consonants.
Among 19 tracked 4-letter entries, TEST ranks by raw score (4 points). Anagram alternatives include SETT, STET — useful when you need the same tiles with a different hook letter. Similar-length words in the same dictionary include ZIZZ, JAZZ, FIZZ, FUZZ; open their word pages to compare endings, vowel weight, and crossover potential.
Strategically, TEST carries 1 vowel and 3 consonants. Its consonant-heavy shape pairs well with open vowel dumps on the board. Hooks on T or T are common study angles; browse words starting with T and words ending with T to rehearse parallel sets.
