Swap a single tile in oma 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.
oma 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.
oma is one of two three-letter words the same letters produce. No arrangement of the same tiles scores higher in Scrabble, so playing oma unchanged also takes the maximum points these letters offer.
The highest-scoring plays from these letters are moa and oma, worth 5 points in Scrabble, and nothing else built from oma 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 oma produce 6 valid words in the Scrabble and Words With Friends dictionaries. The word count by length is: 2 three-letter words and 4 two-letter words.
