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