fun fact: the words cipher (or cypher) and zero are related as they come from the same Arabic word. The two just took different paths to enter the English language.
Not to be that plane nerd but technically the Zero isn't a fighter jet, it's just a fighter. Jet engines were just barely invented during the Second World War and Japan certainly wasn't using them
Good lord, I missed three of the first four. Rushed #4 and thought it said a pope annulled his own marriage and thought that’s only something a Borgia would do. Whoops!
Yeah although I answered correctly, I found that phrasing weird. Blanks are extremely useful, and help you get lots of points, but also are worth zero points so…
I don't think there's a professional Scrabble player in the world that wouldn't say the blank tile is the best, if there's a universal consensus it basically is fact.
No, consensus absolutely does not mean fact. There used to be a consensus that the world was flat, when the fact is is that it is not.
That doesn't mean that this question is wrong it just means that the fact that one needs to know is 'what is the opinion', not which tile is factually the best.
Managed the 10/10 today, but there were some very tricky ones here. In particular, had to think through the Scrabble and Null Island questions, and needed a very tenuous process of elimination to get Cypher. Got 9,867 in the end.

Scrabble tiles have a mathematical value that can be computed.
On average, among skilled players, a blank worth is roughly 25 points. Nothing else is even close.
A Q has negative value.
Your claim is equivalent to saying that a queen and a pawn have the same value in chess.
