What does EVIDENCE mean?

Evidence is information offered to support a claim. The definition also covers anything admitted in court to prove or disprove an alleged fact, so the word fits both everyday reasoning and legal discussion.

A further sense is a person who bears witness. In a more formal definition, evidence is a body of objectively verifiable facts that points toward one conclusion rather than another. The shared idea is support grounded in facts, not simply a confident opinion.

What is EVIDENCE worth in Scrabble?

EVIDENCE scores 14 points from its tile values: E, I, E, N, and the final E are worth one each; D is two, C is three, and V is four. That V supplies the largest share of the base score, while the three E tiles keep the word pronounceable without adding much value.

The score is the tile total before premium squares, so placement can raise the result. The spelling has no listed anagrams and no one-letter neighbors; rearranging its letters will not produce another entry in either group.

Twelve listed rhymes share the ending sound, including since, once, science, chance, and difference. Rhyming is not the same as being an anagram: science shares a rhyme, but it does not use the same letters as EVIDENCE.
