Answer

Play KARNAL for 66 points\text{Play KARNAL for 66 points}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps

  1. Identify available tiles and high-scoring opportunities.

    Your available tiles are L, R, K, N, A, A, L.
    The most advantageous area on the board is the bottom row (row 12), which offers a Triple Word Score (TW) at (row 12, column 1), a Double Letter Score (DL) at (row 12, column 2), and a Double Word Score (DW) at (row 12, column 4).

  2. Form the highest-scoring word and determine its placement.

    The word "KARNAL" can be formed using six of your tiles (K, A, R, N, A, L).
    Place "KARNAL" horizontally starting at (row 12, column 1) and extending to (row 12, column 6).

    • K (5 points) is placed at (row 12, column 1), which is a Triple Word Score (TW) square.
    • A (1 point) is placed at (row 12, column 2), which is a Double Letter Score (DL) square.
    • R (1 point) is placed at (row 12, column 3).
    • N (1 point) is placed at (row 12, column 4), which is a Double Word Score (DW) square.
    • A (1 point) is placed at (row 12, column 5).
    • L (1 point) is placed at (row 12, column 6).

  3. Calculate the score for "KARNAL".

    First, calculate the sum of the letter values, applying any Double Letter (DL) bonuses:

    K=5\text{K} = 5 A (on DL)=1×2=2\text{A (on DL)} = 1 \times 2 = 2 R=1\text{R} = 1 N=1\text{N} = 1 A=1\text{A} = 1 L=1\text{L} = 1

    Sum of letter values =5+2+1+1+1+1=11= 5 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 11 points.

    Next, apply the word multipliers. The word "KARNAL" covers a Triple Word (TW) square and a Double Word (DW) square. Both multipliers are applied to the sum of the letter values:

    Total word multiplier=3×2=6\text{Total word multiplier} = 3 \times 2 = 6

    Finally, calculate the total score:

    Total score=11×6=66 points\text{Total score} = 11 \times 6 = 66 \text{ points}

    The best move is to play KARNAL for 66 points.

    The final answer is Play KARNAL for 66 points\text{Play KARNAL for 66 points}.
