any and nay tie for the highest Scrabble score from any at 6 points. The top 6 of 6 words are shown here, with the full list organized by length below.
There are 2 three-letter words hiding in any: one comes from rearranging its letters, and any itself is already a playable word with no unscrambling required. If a familiar word is all you need, start with any. For points, the strongest plays are any and nay — each worth 6 points in Scrabble.
Swap a single tile in any and you get a different three-letter rack with its own word list. None of these appear in the results above — they share 2 of the 3 letters, not all of them.
any 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 any carries the same value on a Scrabble board and on a Words With Friends board.
Dictionaries record one sense for any. Scrabble and Words With Friends score tiles and not meanings, so every sense below is worth the same 6 points on a Scrabble board:
any is one of two three-letter words the same letters produce. No arrangement of the same tiles scores higher in Scrabble, so playing any unchanged also takes the maximum points these letters offer.
The highest-scoring plays from these letters are any and nay, worth 6 points in Scrabble, and nothing else built from any earns more points in Scrabble. Words With Friends prices the same letters differently, so the top of the list changes on a Words With Friends board. Both scores count tile values only and exclude premium squares.
The letters in any produce 6 valid words in the Scrabble and Words With Friends dictionaries. The word count by length is: 2 three-letter words and 4 two-letter words.
