The *IN Tile

Promotional letter tile. Point value: 10.

Tile Face

• Letters: *IN. The asterisk is printed on the face before the I, as part of the tile.
• Point value: 10, printed in the lower-right corner.
• Form: one tile, carrying both letters together.

Rules

• The *IN tile is an added letter tile with a printed value of 10 points. It is one tile and is drawn and held like any other tile.
• It adds one tile to the set. The base rules on tile distribution, drawing, exchanging, and the 50-point bonus apply to it as to any other letter tile.

Transcription notes

• The printed tile has no rules text of its own, so the only rule it adds is its face: the *IN form and the value of 10 points.
• The source gives no ruling on how the two printed letters are used in a word. The tile is a single piece, so it is treated as one tile occupying one square, with the value 10. This is a judgment call based on the tile being one piece, not a printed rule.
• No rule is given for the asterisk beyond its being printed on the face.
