Swap a single tile in ratios and you get a different six-letter rack with its own word list. None of these appear in the results above — they share 5 of the 6 letters, not all of them.
ratios 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 ratios carries the same value on a Scrabble board and on a Words With Friends board.
ratios is one of four six-letter words the same letters produce. No arrangement of the same tiles scores higher in Scrabble, so playing ratios unchanged also takes the maximum points these letters offer.
The highest-scoring plays from these letters are aorist, aristo, ratios, and satori, worth 6 points in Scrabble, and nothing else built from ratios 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 ratios produce 107 valid words in the Scrabble and Words With Friends dictionaries. The word count by length is: 4 six-letter words, 23 five-letter words, 38 four-letter words, 28 three-letter words and 14 two-letter words.
