A French exclamation meaning 'go!' or 'come on!', used in fencing and sports.
“The referee called allez and the fencers advanced.”
"Allez" repeats a letter (4 unique of 5), so it rules out fewer options as an opening guess. Its 2 vowels balance the consonants. Watch the less-common letter Z.
"Allez" is worth 14 points before board bonuses. It carries the high-value tile Z — land it on a premium square for a big swing.
