21) 0 - not a valid word in Scrabble dictionary ??

I don't know how you could get 78 as the opening word for Scrabble, unless I've been playing it wrong all these years.

F=4, all the rest are 1.  Put the F on the double square for 8 and the letters total 14, but the opening word always falls on the double word score so it is 28.

Isn't there a 50 point bonus for using all 7 tiles ?

[cashier]

Yes plus fifty bonus for a seven letter word.
