curation 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.
curation is the only eight-letter word the same letters produce. No arrangement of the same tiles scores higher in Scrabble, so playing curation unchanged also takes the maximum points these letters offer.
The highest-scoring play from these letters is curation, worth 10 points in Scrabble, and no other word from curation 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 curation produce 213 valid words in the Scrabble and Words With Friends dictionaries. The word count by length is: 1 eight-letter word, 8 seven-letter words, 24 six-letter words, 43 five-letter words, 67 four-letter words, 53 three-letter words and 17 two-letter words.
