All of these Top 10 words I have chosen contain seven letters and therefore earn the premium 150 for using all the letters in the rack. Being able to play them depends on there already being suitable words on the board to which they can be added. In an actual game, the face value of the perpendicular words to which they are joined would also be counted, but these are discounted here as the total score variations would be infinite. So with that in mind, let’s get on with the list…

While all of these words are a rarity to come across in play, sometimes having an additional resource such as a word unscrambler can help you score higher points. Unscrambled Words features an excellent word unscrambler that helps with words that start with, words that end with, and words by length.
