Unscramble HOLY
HOLY is itself a valid word in both Scrabble and Words With Friends, worth 10 points and 9 respectively on plain squares. Rearranged and shortened, the same 4 letters make 7 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 HOLY at 10 points in Scrabble. Set apart to the service or worship of God; hallowed; sacred; reserved from profane or common use; holy vessels; a holy priesthood. "Holy rites and solemn feasts." 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. The method behind a list like this is in our guide to unscrambling letters fast.
