Cheers NM. Reminds me of my favourite ever pub quiz question "Where is the body of St. Edmund buried?" .

Ok. Similar to oak's question yesterday (and bear in mind I'm working this out from scratch) what is the LOWEST score you can attain from a clearance / bingo (i.e. using all 7 tiles to make a word).

I like Clement Freud's choice in names. He called one of his racehorses Dig Up St Edmund.
