dieted and edited tie for the highest Scrabble score from edited at 8 points. The top 10 of 27 words are shown here, with the full list organized by length below.
There are 2 six-letter words hiding in edited: one comes from rearranging its letters, and edited itself is already a playable word with no unscrambling required. If a familiar word is all you need, start with edited. For points, the strongest plays are dieted and edited — each worth 8 points in Scrabble.
The words below are listed alphabetically. Scores count playable tiles only and leave out premium-square bonuses.
Unscrambling edited produces exactly one five-letter word: tided. It is not one of the common answers — a genuine unscrambler find — and it banks 7 points in Scrabble.
Rearranging the letters in edited produces 10 valid four-letter words. If a familiar word is all you need, start with deed, died, diet, edit, and tied. For points, the strongest plays are deed and died — each worth 6 points in Scrabble.
Below, the list runs in alphabetical order, with each score based on the playable tile set — premium squares not included.
Unscrambling edited turns up 7 three-letter words. If a familiar word is all you need, start with did, die, and tie. For points, the strongest play is did — worth 5 points in Scrabble.
The words below are listed alphabetically. Scores count playable tiles only and leave out premium-square bonuses.
There are 7 two-letter words that can be made by unscrambling the letters in edited. If a familiar word is all you need, start with id and it. For points, the strongest plays are de, ed, and id — each worth 3 points in Scrabble.
The full list follows, sorted A to Z; every score reflects tile constraints and skips board bonuses.
Swap a single tile in edited and you get a different six-letter rack with its own word list. None of these appear in the results above — they share 5 of the 6 letters, not all of them.
edited 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 edited carries the same value on a Scrabble board and on a Words With Friends board.
Dictionaries record one sense for edited. Scrabble and Words With Friends score tiles and not meanings, so every sense below is worth the same 8 points on a Scrabble board:
edited is one of two six-letter words the same letters produce. No arrangement of the same tiles scores higher in Scrabble, so playing edited unchanged also takes the maximum points these letters offer.
The highest-scoring plays from these letters are dieted and edited, worth 8 points in Scrabble, and nothing else built from edited 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 edited produce 27 valid words in the Scrabble and Words With Friends dictionaries. The word count by length is: 2 six-letter words, 1 five-letter word, 10 four-letter words, 7 three-letter words and 7 two-letter words.
