kiosk needs no unscrambling at all — the five-letter word is already the strongest play its own letters allow, banking 8 points in Scrabble as it stands.

In all, 15 valid words come out of this rack, grouped by length below and checked for Words With Friends as well as Scrabble.

Dictionaries record one sense for kiosk. Scrabble and Words With Friends score tiles and not meanings, so every sense below is worth the same 8 points on a Scrabble board:
kiosk is the only five-letter word the same letters produce. No arrangement of the same tiles scores higher in Scrabble, so playing kiosk unchanged also takes the maximum points these letters offer.

The letters in kiosk produce 15 valid words in the Scrabble and Words With Friends dictionaries. The word count by length is: 1 five-letter word, 2 four-letter words, 5 three-letter words and 7 two-letter words.
