Unscrambling loc produces exactly one two-letter word: lo. It is not one of the common answers — a genuine unscrambler find — and it banks 2 points in Scrabble.
Swap a single tile in loc and you get a different three-letter rack with its own word list. None of these appear in the results above — they share 2 of the 3 letters, not all of them.
loc 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.
loc is one of two three-letter words the same letters produce. No arrangement of the same tiles scores higher in Scrabble, so playing loc unchanged also takes the maximum points these letters offer.
The highest-scoring plays from these letters are col and loc, worth 5 points in Scrabble, and nothing else built from loc 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 loc produce 3 valid words in the Scrabble and Words With Friends dictionaries. The word count by length is: 2 three-letter words and 1 two-letter word.
