aits is in the NWL, the official Scrabble word list for North America, and in the Words With Friends dictionary, so it's playable exactly as it stands and needs no unscrambling.
Both totals match, because every tile in aits carries the same value on a Scrabble board and on a Words With Friends board.
aits is one of two four-letter words the same letters produce. No arrangement of the same tiles scores higher in Scrabble, so playing aits unchanged also takes the maximum points these letters offer.
The highest-scoring plays from these letters are aits and sati, worth 4 points in Scrabble, and nothing else built from aits earns more points in Scrabble.
