Where it comes from

Etymology

Borrowed from Middle French document, from Latin documentum.

DOCUMENT means a record that carries information or serves as evidence. In ordinary use, it can be an official paper, a text file, or another object that stores information. That range matters in word games: the spelling is familiar, but its eight tiles add up to a modest 13-point base score.

DOCUMENT at a glance

  • DOCUMENT is an eight-letter word with five consonants and three vowels.
  • Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE recognize the word.
  • Its tiles total 13 points: C and M are worth 3 each, D is worth 2, and the other five letters are worth 1 each.
  • The word has no anagrams or one-letter neighbours in its word-game results.
  • Twelve words rhyme with its ending; examples include went, event, and moment.

What does DOCUMENT mean?

A document is something that records information or supports a claim. The word covers an original or official paper used as proof, as well as writing that conveys relevant details. In modern use, a text file also counts as a document.

The definition stretches beyond paper. An object can qualify when it carries information and can be indexed with similar items. That breadth makes DOCUMENT a useful everyday noun, not just a name for a signed form or printed page.

DOCUMENT Scrabble score and letter patterns

The DOCUMENT Scrabble score is 13 before board bonuses. C and M supply 6 points together, while D adds 2; the remaining five tiles contribute 1 point apiece. The two 3-point tiles do the scoring work, so placing them on premium squares matters more than saving the common letters.

DOCUMENT has no anagrams and no one-letter neighbours in the word-game results. Its final -ent sound does have plenty of rhymes, including different, government, went, president, current, and moment. For the document meaning, think of a record that preserves or supports information; for play, remember that a familiar word can still have a limited rack-tile value.
