In standard Scrabble scoring, UNIQUE totals 15 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. UNIQUE includes premium tiles (Q), which can swing tight games when you cover a double- or triple-letter square.
UNIQUE is 6 letters long, begins with U, ends with E, and sorts to the alphagram EINQUU. No other entry in this dictionary rearranges into the same letter set, so UNIQUE is unique within its alphagram family. Letter makeup: 4 vowels, 2 consonants.
