Both totals match, because every tile in elsewhere carries the same value on a Scrabble board and on a Words With Friends board.
elsewhere is the only nine-letter word the same letters produce. No arrangement of the same tiles scores higher in Scrabble, so playing elsewhere unchanged also takes the maximum points these letters offer.
The highest-scoring play from these letters is elsewhere, worth 15 points in Scrabble, and no other word from elsewhere 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.
