It is a double word score square.

Oh, dude, the star in the middle of a Scrabble board is like the center of attention at a high school dance. It's where the first word of the game goes, and it's like the cool kid everyone wants to hang out with. So, yeah, it's basically the starting point for all the wordy shenanigans that are about to go down on that board.
The double word square is pink (including the center star square). The double letter square is light blue.
The center square on the Scrabble board is the star. It's where the tiles are placed to start the game. The person who starts the game gets double points for their word when they place their tiles on the star, but only for that one time. Double, triple points are added to a player's score, when he or she lands on the colored squares.
You cannot. You must play off at least 1 letter from an already established word on the board, whether it is crossing the word or adding to the word. The only time you do not have to play off an existing word is when playing the first word of the game, which must cross the center star space.
