WORTHY (noun): an important, honorable person (word is often used humorously); "he told his story to some conservative worthies"; "local worthies rarely challenged the chief constable". Additional senses: worthy of being chosen especially as a spouse; "the parents found the girl suitable for their son"; having qualities or abilities that merit recognition in some way; "behavior worthy of reprobation"; "a fact worthy of attention"; having worth or merit or value; being honorable or admirable; "a worthy fellow"; "a worthy cause".

In standard Scrabble scoring, WORTHY 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. WORTHY 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.
