METHOXY leads the scoring examples at 22 points. KITSCHY, SHTICKY, RITZILY, and EXTROPY each score 19, while PATHWAY scores 18. Those point totals make the less familiar words worth checking when a premium square can multiply a high-value letter.

A seven-tile play earns the Scrabble bingo bonus, so a fitting rack can be worth more than the word’s score alone. Still, dictionary coverage varies: Collins has 104 matches, NWL2023 has 91, and ENABLE has 83. Don’t assume every word accepted in one game list will work in another.
