wat 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 wat carries the same value on a Scrabble board and on a Words With Friends board.
wat is one of three three-letter words the same letters produce. No arrangement of the same tiles scores higher in Scrabble, so playing wat unchanged also takes the maximum points these letters offer.
The highest-scoring plays from these letters are taw, twa, and wat, worth 6 points in Scrabble, and nothing else built from wat earns more points in Scrabble.

The letters in wat produce 6 valid words in the Scrabble and Words With Friends dictionaries. The word count by length is: 3 three-letter words and 3 two-letter words.
