Check this pattern late

movement is worth 8 points before any pangram bonus.
It uses 6 unique letters, so it can fit boards that include e, m, n, o, t, v plus any remaining hive letters.
Watch the repeated-letter pattern (E x2, M x2); those are easy points to miss when scanning quickly.
The MENT ending makes this a useful pattern check after you try the MO start.
