Which matches score most in Scrabble?

MATZAHS and MATZOHS tie for the top score at 21 points. Their unusual spellings make them standout scoring options among these matches, if your game accepts them.

KITSCHY follows at 19 points, and FATWAHS scores 16. FETICHE reaches 15; CATECHU and POTICHE each score 14. UPTIGHT and BETIGHT are worth 13 apiece, while ATTACHE scores 12.

Those figures are word scores, not guaranteed board totals: letter and word premiums change the result. The dictionary split matters too, since Collins includes all 12 but ENABLE and NWL2023 include 9 each.

How to use 7-letter words with T third and H sixth

Fix T in slot three and H in slot six, then test the remaining letters against candidates such as UPTIGHT, KITSCHY, and ATTACHE. The matches do not share one ending: four finish in S, three in E, and two in T. The remaining endings are O, U, and Y.

Starting letters are concentrated too. M begins 3 matches and F begins 2; A, B, C, K, O, and P each begin 1. If a crossing supplies the first letter, M and F are the strongest starting-letter checks, but the full pool remains small.

None of the 12 is classed as common, so expect unfamiliar entries such as CATECHU or POTICHE alongside recognizable UPTIGHT. A pattern match alone does not settle whether a word is accepted in your game.
