Yardstick

When nobody around you seems to measure up, it's time to check your yardstick. (Bill Lemley)

Synonyms : standard, measure, gauge, scale, guide, guideline, indicator, specification, average, benchmark, pattern, model.

Y = 4 points
A = 1 point
R = 1 point
D = 2 points
S = 1 point
T = 1 point
I = 1 point
C = 3 points
K = 5 points

Yardstick is worth at least 19 points in the game of scrabble and would be a wise word choice!
