The highest-scoring play from these letters is recycled, worth 16 points in Scrabble, and no other word from recycled 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.
