gameplay 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.
gameplay is the only eight-letter word the same letters produce. No arrangement of the same tiles scores higher in Scrabble, so playing gameplay unchanged also takes the maximum points these letters offer.
The highest-scoring play from these letters is gameplay, worth 16 points in Scrabble, and no other word from gameplay 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 gameplay produce 124 valid words in the Scrabble and Words With Friends dictionaries. The word count by length is: 1 eight-letter word, 3 six-letter words, 17 five-letter words, 39 four-letter words, 48 three-letter words and 16 two-letter words.
