silver S₁I₁L₁V₄E₁R₁

SILVER names a lustrous, white metallic element and also serves as a familiar six-letter playable word. Its Scrabble value is 9 points, with the V supplying 4 and each of the other five tiles worth 1. The spelling is common in everyday English, but its anagram set includes several much less familiar forms.

What is the SILVER meaning and Scrabble score?

SILVER means a lustrous white metal, and the symbol for the element is Ag. The noun also covers coins, cutlery, and other objects made from silver or a similar white metal. So a clue about the material points to one sense, while a clue about tableware may point to another.

SILVER is common in English, but its Scrabble score stays modest because five of its six tiles are worth only 1 point. The V accounts for 4 of the total 9. A placement on a letter or word bonus square can change the turn’s total, but not the tile values.

Which anagrams and neighbours resemble SILVER?

The five anagrams are SLIVER, LIVERS, LIVRES, RIVELS, and ERVILS. SLIVER is the everyday standout; LIVERS is familiar too, while LIVRES, RIVELS, and ERVILS are less likely to come to mind during a timed game. Check your game’s word list before playing the less familiar forms.

Four one-letter neighbours are SOLVER, SALVER, SILLER, and SILVEX. They are not anagrams: each changes one tile while keeping the six-letter shape. SOLVER and SALVER preserve SILVER’s final LVER; SILLER changes the fourth letter, and SILVEX replaces the final R.
