What M is worth on premium squares
The tile itself is always 3 points. Premium squares change what the play is worth, not what the tile is worth. A double letter square doubles just this tile to 6; a triple letter square triples it to 9. Word multipliers are applied afterwards, to the whole word — so M on a triple letter square inside a triple word play contributes 27 points. How premium squares stack covers the cases people get wrong.
