Which matching words score well in Scrabble?

Chametz and chometz are the top scorers at 23 points each. Chalutz and shmaltz follow at 21, while thrifty and whishts score 16. Those less familiar spellings can turn awkward high-value tiles into a strong play, but check your game's word list before relying on them.

The set is narrow in everyday use: only five matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. Charity and thirsty are more recognizable starting points than many of the rarer entries. Of the 59 matches, 52 have definitions, so a valid tournament entry is not necessarily familiar vocabulary.
