series 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 series carries the same value on a Scrabble board and on a Words With Friends board.
Dictionaries record seven senses for series. Scrabble and Words With Friends score tiles and not meanings, so every sense below is worth the same 6 points on a Scrabble board:
series is one of three six-letter words the same letters produce. No arrangement of the same tiles scores higher in Scrabble, so playing series unchanged also takes the maximum points these letters offer.
The highest-scoring plays from these letters are seiser, series, and sirees, worth 6 points in Scrabble, and nothing else built from series 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 series produce 43 valid words in the Scrabble and Words With Friends dictionaries. The word count by length is: 3 six-letter words, 8 five-letter words, 14 four-letter words, 13 three-letter words and 5 two-letter words.
