pupping needs no unscrambling at all — the seven-letter word is already the strongest play its own letters allow, banking 11 points in Scrabble as it stands. Short on board space? upping matches that same 11-point score in Scrabble while spending only six letters — the efficient pick when the long play won't fit. In all, 25 valid words come out of this rack, grouped by length below and checked for Words With Friends as well as Scrabble.
