centimetres is in the NWL, the official Scrabble word list for North America, but not in the Words With Friends dictionary, so it plays in Scrabble only.
Dictionaries record one sense for centimetres. Scrabble and Words With Friends score tiles and not meanings, so every sense below is worth the same 15 points on a Scrabble board:
centimetres is one of two eleven-letter words the same letters produce. No arrangement of the same tiles scores higher in Scrabble, so playing centimetres unchanged also takes the maximum points these letters offer.
The highest-scoring plays from these letters are centimeters and centimetres, worth 15 points in Scrabble, and nothing else built from centimetres 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 centimetres produce 542 valid words in the Scrabble and Words With Friends dictionaries. The word count by length is: 2 eleven-letter words, 4 ten-letter words, 9 nine-letter words, 25 eight-letter words, 68 seven-letter words, 126 six-letter words, 133 five-letter words, 106 four-letter words, 54 three-letter words and 15 two-letter words.
