tasks 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 tasks carries the same value on a Scrabble board and on a Words With Friends board.
Dictionaries record four senses for tasks. Scrabble and Words With Friends score tiles and not meanings, so every sense below is worth the same 9 points on a Scrabble board:
tasks is one of two five-letter words the same letters produce. No arrangement of the same tiles scores higher in Scrabble, so playing tasks unchanged also takes the maximum points these letters offer.
The highest-scoring plays from these letters are skats and tasks, worth 9 points in Scrabble, and nothing else built from tasks 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 tasks produce 22 valid words in the Scrabble and Words With Friends dictionaries. The word count by length is: 2 five-letter words, 7 four-letter words, 9 three-letter words and 4 two-letter words.
