Why players ask
UN means one, as in the dialect phrase a good un, and it is playable in its own right rather than only as a prefix. That matters because U is the tile players most often get stuck with: it is worth one point, it clogs a rack, and it is useless without the right neighbours. UN and UT are the two cleanest ways to shed one.
