a choral composition on a sacred text
“The choir performed a Renaissance motet.”
mo·tet
"Motet" repeats a letter (4 unique of 5), so it rules out fewer options as an opening guess. Its 2 vowels balance the consonants.
"Motet" is worth 7 points before board bonuses. Aim its letters at double/triple-letter and word squares to lift the score.
Look up motet in an authoritative dictionary for full definitions, pronunciation, and etymology.
