weight W₄E₁I₁G₂H₄T₁

WEIGHT is a familiar six-letter word with several concrete senses: gravitational force, something added to make an object heavier, a metal measure used with a balance, or importance. Its 13-point tile value comes from two four-point letters, W and H, plus G at two; E, I, and T are each worth one. A common English word, it bridges physical measurement and figurative influence, since the same noun also describes significance.

What does WEIGHT mean, and how does it score?

WEIGHT means the downward force an object experiences because of gravity. It can also mean an object added to make something heavier, a standardized metal block used with a balance, or importance and influence. The physical and figurative senses share the idea of how strongly something bears on a person or object.

The Scrabble total is 13: W contributes four points, E one, I one, G two, H four, and T one. The useful scoring detail is that W and H provide most of the base value. A premium square under either one has more impact than one under E, I, or T.

WEIGHT is common in English, with a frequency count of 27,761. Its close one-letter neighbours include HEIGHT, which changes the first letter, and WEIGHS, which changes the final letter. WRIGHT and KEIGHT also differ by just one letter, though they are less familiar choices.

The WEIGHT meaning covers both measurable force and figurative significance, but the letters have no full-length anagrams. That is a real limitation when you are rearranging the complete rack: the same six tiles do not make another word. For competitive play, check your game's word list rather than relying only on everyday familiarity.
