💡 Tile Value

F's 4 points are a reasonable chunk of a 4-letter word's total score without being so rare that plays are hard to find.

Because F lands last, 4-letter words ending with F are naturally suited to hooking: adding F onto a shorter word already on the board to build a new one on your turn.
