Dictionaries record one sense for refractoriness. Scrabble and Words With Friends score tiles and not meanings, so every sense below is worth the same 19 points on a Scrabble board:
refractoriness is the only fourteen-letter word the same letters produce. No arrangement of the same tiles scores higher in Scrabble, so playing refractoriness unchanged also takes the maximum points these letters offer.
The highest-scoring play from these letters is refractoriness, worth 19 points in Scrabble, and no other word from refractoriness earns more points in Scrabble.

The letters in refractoriness produce 2512 valid words in the Scrabble and Words With Friends dictionaries. The word count by length is: 1 fourteen-letter word, 2 twelve-letter words, 13 eleven-letter words, 44 ten-letter words, 135 nine-letter words, 265 eight-letter words, 447 seven-letter words, 577 six-letter words, 512 five-letter words, 341 four-letter words, 142 three-letter words and 33 two-letter words.
The anagram solver inside UnscrambleX compares refractoriness against the dictionaries used by Scrabble, Words With Friends, Word Jumble, and Text Twist, keeps every arrangement those dictionaries contain, and sorts the confirmed words by tile score. That sorting step is why refractoriness appears at the top of the results. A word on this page is a legal play in Scrabble and Words With Friends, not a letter combination that only looks like a word.
Unscrambling refractoriness produces two kinds of plays in Scrabble and Words With Friends: one high-scoring word, and one short word that fits a crowded board.
The high-scoring play is refractoriness. The short plays are ae and ai, and they cover the turns when the board leaves no open line long enough for the bigger word.
The score gap is exact: the lowest-scoring word from these letters earns 2 points in Scrabble and the highest-scoring word earns 19 points. The letters are identical in both cases, so the board decides the value of the turn.
UnscrambleX lists every word from these letters with its Scrabble score and its Words With Friends score, so the choice between points and board position is made from numbers instead of memory.
The results list works as a vocabulary drill for Scrabble and Words With Friends players. Cover the list, rearrange refractoriness in your head, and count how many of the 2512 words you find before you check the answers.
Experienced players find the long words such as refractoriness without help. The short words are the ones that go unnoticed, and short words decide close games in Scrabble, Words With Friends, and Text Twist.
Repeat the drill on a few letter sets each day. Vowel positions, common endings such as -ed and -ing, and high-value tiles become recognisable without an unscrambler.
Unscrambling adds words that reading never supplies. No Scrabble player opens a dictionary to look for ae, and the word enters a playable vocabulary only because a results list produced it.
Spelling accuracy improves at the same time. Building refractoriness from loose tiles forces one letter order and returns a correct or incorrect verdict inside the same move, which is faster feedback than a spelling test. Plays from refractoriness range from 2 to 19 points in Scrabble, so every turn also asks a scoring question: take the points now, or keep the flexible tiles for the next turn.
Words assembled from tiles are remembered better than words only read, and timed games such as Text Twist and Word Jumble reward that recall directly.
