Abstract

As a man of many words, not all of them repeatable in a quarantine, I will say that "quarantine" would be a great word to use if you were playing Scrabble. That's because it would be worth 19 points, most of them coming from the letter Q, which by itself is worth 10. And if you got a triple word score, it would be worth 57 points.
