Additional senses: an item of information that is typical of a class or group; "this patient provides a typical example of the syndrome"; "there is an example on page 10"; something to be imitated; "an exemplar of success"; "a model of clarity"; "he is the very model of a modern major general"; a representative form or pattern; "I profited from his example".
In standard Scrabble scoring, EXAMPLE totals 18 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. EXAMPLE includes premium tiles (X), which can swing tight games when you cover a double- or triple-letter square.
EXAMPLE is 7 letters long, begins with E, ends with E, and sorts to the alphagram AEELMPX. There is 1 anagram in this dictionary sharing that exact letter bag. Letter makeup: 3 vowels, 4 consonants.
