Unscramble MATH
MATH is itself a valid word in both Scrabble and Words With Friends, worth 9 points and 9 respectively on plain squares. Rearranged and shortened, the same 4 letters make 12 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 MATH at 9 points in Scrabble. A mowing, or that which is gathered by mowing; -- chiefly used in composition; as, an aftermath. The first mowing thereof, for the king's use, is wont to be sooner than the common math.
