What does ANYTHING mean?

ANYTHING means any object or matter whatsoever. The definition also covers an act, state, event, or fact of any kind, so the word can point to almost any thing or occurrence.

In everyday use, ANYTHING can stand for an unspecified thing: “Choose anything” leaves the choice open. The word also appears in expressions about degree or manner, matching the sense “in any way” or “to any extent.”

Why does ANYTHING score 15 points?

ANYTHING scores 15 points from its letter values: A, N, T, I, and the second N are worth one each; G is worth two; Y and H are worth four each. The two four-point tiles account for most of the total.

The Y and H are the scoring hinge: together they contribute eight points, while the other six tiles contribute seven. Count both N tiles separately when adding the word’s face value; a board premium can change the final play score.
