Unscramble CAGE

CAGE is itself a valid word in both Scrabble and Words With Friends, worth 7 points and 9 respectively on plain squares. Rearranged and shortened, the same 4 letters make 6 words in total, from 4 letters down to two. No other word uses all 4 letters, which makes it a safe rack to hold. The highest scoring option is CAGE at 7 points in Scrabble. A box or inclosure, wholly or partly of openwork, in wood or metal, used for confining birds or other animals. In his cage, like parrot fine and gay. If you can play it as it stands, do that before shortening it. A full rack usually outscores a shorter word even when the shorter one looks cleverer.
