5-letter words with N fourth and A fifth: scores and limits

QUINA and QUENA tie for the highest Scrabble score at 14 points each, well above the 7.4-point average. HYENA scores 11, while CHINA and CHANA score 10 apiece. The premium comes from Q, not from the shared N-A ending, so check the tile values before choosing a play.

Dictionary coverage varies: 28 matches appear in ENABLE, 54 in Collins, and 36 in NWL2023. Those counts overlap, so adding them does not produce the 57-word total. QUINA and QUENA are less familiar choices; check your game's word list before relying on an obscure high scorer.
