Swap a single tile in released and you get a different eight-letter rack with its own word list. None of these appear in the results above — they share 7 of the 8 letters, not all of them.
released 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.
The 1-point gap between the two totals comes from the tile values themselves: Scrabble and Words With Friends price the same letters differently.
released is one of two eight-letter words the same letters produce. No arrangement of the same tiles scores higher in Scrabble, so playing released unchanged also takes the maximum points these letters offer.
The highest-scoring plays from these letters are released and resealed, worth 9 points in Scrabble, and nothing else built from released 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 released produce 172 valid words in the Scrabble and Words With Friends dictionaries. The word count by length is: 2 eight-letter words, 5 seven-letter words, 21 six-letter words, 42 five-letter words, 54 four-letter words, 35 three-letter words and 13 two-letter words.
