dobes 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.
dobes is one of two five-letter words the same letters produce. No arrangement of the same tiles scores higher in Scrabble, so playing dobes unchanged also takes the maximum points these letters offer.
The highest-scoring plays from these letters are bodes and dobes, worth 8 points in Scrabble, and nothing else built from dobes 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 dobes produce 36 valid words in the Scrabble and Words With Friends dictionaries. The word count by length is: 2 five-letter words, 9 four-letter words, 15 three-letter words and 10 two-letter words.
