measures 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.
The 2-point gap between the two totals comes from the tile values themselves: Scrabble and Words With Friends price the same letters differently.
measures is one of two eight-letter words the same letters produce. No arrangement of the same tiles scores higher in Scrabble, so playing measures unchanged also takes the maximum points these letters offer.
The highest-scoring plays from these letters are measures and reassume, worth 10 points in Scrabble, and nothing else built from measures 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 measures produce 175 valid words in the Scrabble and Words With Friends dictionaries. The word count by length is: 2 eight-letter words, 8 seven-letter words, 21 six-letter words, 43 five-letter words, 52 four-letter words, 36 three-letter words and 13 two-letter words.
