What does SMITH mean, and what is its score?

A smith is a craftsperson who works metal into a chosen shape using a hammer and other tools. The familiar example is a blacksmith, who heats metal to make it easier to work. SMITH can also mean someone who makes things, or, as a verb, to forge or form something by heating and pounding.

SMITH scores 10 points on a standard Scrabble rack before any board bonuses. The tile values explain the total: M is worth 3 and H is worth 4, while S, I, and T each add 1. That makes H the key tile to protect; placing it on a premium letter square raises the score more than doing the same with S, I, or T.

Is SMITH a Wordle answer, and what is near it?

Yes. SMITH is both a Wordle answer and an allowed guess, so it belongs to the answer set as well as the broader guessing vocabulary. Its five distinct letters also test several common consonants at once, though that does not make it a better opener than every alternative.

Changing one letter produces four recorded neighbors: SAITH, SMITE, SMITS, and SWITH. The set is a useful reminder that a familiar word can sit beside less familiar forms; one-letter similarity does not make each neighbor equally recognizable. SMITH also has no recorded anagrams, so rearranging its letters does not produce another entry in that anagram set.
