Dictionaries record five senses for shouts. Scrabble and Words With Friends score tiles and not meanings, so every sense below is worth the same 9 points on a Scrabble board:
shouts is one of two six-letter words the same letters produce. No arrangement of the same tiles scores higher in Scrabble, so playing shouts unchanged also takes the maximum points these letters offer.
The highest-scoring plays from these letters are shouts and souths, worth 9 points in Scrabble, and nothing else built from shouts 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.
