editress 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 editress carries the same value on a Scrabble board and on a Words With Friends board.
editress is one of four eight-letter words the same letters produce. No arrangement of the same tiles scores higher in Scrabble, so playing editress unchanged also takes the maximum points these letters offer.

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.
