ROOF (noun): a protective covering that covers or forms the top of a building. Additional senses: protective covering on top of a motor vehicle; an upper limit on what is allowed; "he put a ceiling on the number of women who worked for him"; "there was a roof on salaries"; "they established a cap for prices"; the inner top surface of a covered area or hollow space; "the roof of the cave was very high"; "I could see the roof of the bear's mouth".

In standard Scrabble scoring, ROOF totals 7 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. ROOF 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.

ROOF is 4 letters long, begins with R, ends with F, and sorts to the alphagram FOOR. No other entry in this dictionary rearranges into the same letter set, so ROOF is unique within its alphagram family. Letter makeup: 2 vowels, 2 consonants.
