ora 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.
Both totals match, because every tile in ora carries the same value on a Scrabble board and on a Words With Friends board.
ora is one of three three-letter words the same letters produce. No arrangement of the same tiles scores higher in Scrabble, so playing ora unchanged also takes the maximum points these letters offer.
The highest-scoring plays from these letters are aro, oar, and ora, worth 3 points in Scrabble, and nothing else built from ora 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.
