nancysmum Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 i spend my moments before going to sleep trying to calculate what would be the highest first scoring seven letter word in scrabble. ie: if you were to put the first word down, it was a seven-letterer and you get the 50 point bonus. So far I have come up with:Quizzed (one zed being a blank and other zed being on double letter score) = 35 x 2 + 50 = 120Squeeze is also 120.Can anyone think of a higher scoring word?

Zaardvark Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 A google search reveals...The highest scoring 7-letter word is MUZJIKS. The tiles total 29 points and it scores 128 on the first move.

Mogs Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 My highest score was Anorexia = 121 points Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5042-i-know-this-is-sad-but/#findComment-162341 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancysmum Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Thanks ZaardvarkGreat word, although I think google have mis-scored. I make the total 37 (x 2 + 50). I would have the z on the double letter, making it 20, j = 8, k = 4 (or is it 5), m = 3 and u and i are 1 a piece. hence 37. I really do hope i get to play a game where i can use that word though!Hx Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5042-i-know-this-is-sad-but/#findComment-162516 Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Mc Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 K=5 so 128 is right for muzjiks. I'm not going to dignify Mogs' comment with a response.
