DO Strategy: Best D+Vowel Play
Highest D+vowel combo: DO (3pts) ties with DA (3pts) but has more extensions. With D worth 2 points and O being common (8 tiles), DO is your reliable D-dump play. 3 points for 2 tiles is solid value.
Setup for DOW: Play DO near a W-friendly spot. DOW (7pts) scores well and opens further extensions like DOWN (8pts) and DOWRY (12pts). The DO→DOW→DOWN chain creates escalating value.
Parallel cross-scoring: D forms valid 2-letter crosswords with most common tiles. Play DO parallel to existing words for bonus cross-points. D on DLS gives you 4 from that single tile.
💡 Solfège Scale Words
DO starts the solfège musical scale — do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti. All are valid in Scrabble: DO (3pts), RE (2pts), MI (4pts), FA (5pts), SO (2pts), LA (2pts), TI (2pts). DO scores the second-highest after FA thanks to D's 2-point value.
