Swap a single tile in terrases 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.
terrases 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 terrases carries the same value on a Scrabble board and on a Words With Friends board.
terrases is one of five eight-letter words the same letters produce. No arrangement of the same tiles scores higher in Scrabble, so playing terrases unchanged also takes the maximum points these letters offer.
The highest-scoring plays from these letters are asserter, reassert, serrates, terrases, and terrasse, worth 8 points in Scrabble, and nothing else built from terrases earns more points in Scrabble.

The letters in terrases produce 190 valid words in the Scrabble and Words With Friends dictionaries. The word count by length is: 5 eight-letter words, 14 seven-letter words, 35 six-letter words, 48 five-letter words, 46 four-letter words, 32 three-letter words and 10 two-letter words.
